Ranger Stories   /     RS07: Nieuw Amsterdam to New York (Part 2)

Pierre Minuit, whom we know better as Peter Minuit, gets the small settlement of New Amsterdam off to a good start. But after his replacement, settlers suffer increasingly tyrannical and inept governance from the Dutch West India Company -- until they finally say, Enough! -- in Part 2 of Nieuw Amsterdam to New York.
