For Janie and Henrietta (called Henry), life was one long stretch
of working on a farm in the wilderness of 17th century Connecticut.
There were few neighbors, no friends their own age, and their
father was still mourning the loss of his wife. But miles away lay
the town of New Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan, a bustling
place with new experiences and a more hopeful future for all of
them. So Eric and his girls left for New Amsterdam, where his
daughters might find suitors, and he might find work.
However, New Amsterdam was not without its dangers. As The
Netherlands and England fought over who owned what parts of the New
World, this rapidly growing and prosperous town of Dutch and
English settlers were led by the dynamic Pieter van Stuyvesant, Old
Silver Leg, who would not easily give up his town to the demands of
the British. Janie, Henry and their new friends would live through
frightening days in the year 1664 as the Dutch and English forces
made preparations to fight for the island.
