treatyNew Amsterdam, New York, USA ⇓ Barent Jacobsen Cool sailed to New Amsterdam in the services of the Dutch West-India Company, on one of his sailings possibly from Amsterdam as a sailor in late 1632 on the ship Soutberg, which arrived in April 1633 with 140 soldiers. At this time, New Amsterdam, or New York City, only had a population of around 400-500. On June 8, he and six others signed a treaty with the Sickename Indians to purchase land on the Connecticut River. The cost was recorded as 27 rolls of cloth, 6 axes, 6 kettles, 18 knives, and other articles. Barent's group also built a trading house called "The House of Good Hope" or "Huys de Hoop" and fortified it with several cannons. This was done to halt English exploration of the land. 2 Sources ⇓ |
