"Hey some of my forefathers owned the Mayflower! Captain Cornelius May, and such."
Way cool! Thanks for the info. History is so interesting.
Are you in Ventura County? If so, will you be at tomorrow's rally?
No ma'am, I am far from Ventura. But since you like history, please consider the story of
Peter Minuet the only man ever to conquer Manhattan. You see, the Brits in the Revolution were only temporary occupiers and the British who took New Amsterdam, well, that only happened because the Dutchmen wanted them -- for British rule was better for business than the constant internecine warfare the American Dutch were always up to. Not even Washington was able to capture Manhattan. Only Peter Minuet.
And not only did Minuet bring the Dutch to the America ... he brought the Swedes too. He was the founder of both New Amsterdam and New Sweden!
