from The Washington Irving Library · host Washington Irving

In which the sturdy and unwavering Peter Stuyvesant, amid his dignified travels through the eastern lands, finds his beloved New Netherlands unwittingly poised on the brink of a formidable contest conjured by distant British ambitions and royal decrees. While peaceful tranquility blankets the city and its councils slumber, a tempestuous fleet, backed by regal grants and claims, advances like a portentous storm to challenge the steadfast spirit of the Dutch province.
