Beschreibung

This compelling biography delves into the life of Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch governor of New Amsterdam. From his major role in the early history of New York City, to the landmarks and points of interest named after him throughout the city, Stuyvesant's influence is undeniable. The book explores Stuyvesant's accomplishments, including the expansion of New Amsterdam beyond Manhattan and the construction of significant projects such as Wall Street's protective wall and Broadway. However, it also delves into his controversial views on religious pluralism, which caused conflicts with various religious groups in the city, particularly his antisemitic views towards the Jewish community.
