Founders of New York- Peter styastant was born in theNortheastern part of the netherlands. Unlike his father Peter didnt want to become a minister, but he wantd to travel to distant lands. In 1635 Peter went ot work for the Dutch West India Company. At first Peter was sent to Brazil to serve as a merchant, and then became an administrator of several Brazilian trading posts. In 1643 the Company made him Govenor of Curaco and other Dutch Controlled islands of the Carribian. Also in 1644 Peter led Dutch soldiers on a raid against the portugase on St. Martin, which was 600 miles Northeast of Curago.The attack was a teribble faliure. Also during the attack Peter was wounded and then had to have it amputated. He was then sent back to the Netherlands where he got a fake leg. For nearly two years, the goverment struggled with Peter trying to gain control of them. Peter finally stoped his work and spent the last few years of his life in New Amsterdam reading bibles.

Peter Minuit was the other founder of New York. He was born in Germany in 1580. His main contribution to the founding of New York was when he bought Manhhattan Island from the Native Americans. Minuit then took the first steps in building a city. This city became New Amsterdam. In 1625 the Dutch West Indian Company appointed Minuit governer of New Amsterdam. Later, in 1631, Minuit was kicked out of his governer possion of governer, because he was giving away to much land to the wealthy patroons. Eventually, the English took over New amsterdam and called it New York after the Duke of York.

__**What Possiable Risks Are At Stake?-**__ New York is a very peaceful place, but evrywhere has there flaws. There are some indians that we are friends with and trade with a lot, but some indians are not that friendly. In fact the French and Indian War is going on currently. This is not that bad. All of are cities now have forts around them and soldiers protecting all of the civilians. As you can tell the situation is well under cotroll. We haven't had a raid since the war started. Of caurse you're all worring about the journey across the Atlantic. There has been several succesful voyages, more than there have been failiures, because we have so many settelers in New York. The journey is long, but once you get to New York, that whole voyage will be behind you and you can start a new begining.

 * __There Is An Activity For Everyone-__** There so much fun stuff to do year round in New York. In the summer and spring time you can swim, fish, hike, bowl(which orriginated in New York), crab, and hunt. In the winter the water freeze up really thick, and It was perfect for ice skating, which was very popular among all ages. A lot of men loved to play a game of cards every now and then. A game that was played very often with children was a ryming game. One kid would walk around the circle while saying a ryme and touching a kid in the circle. Whoever was the last kid to be touched would be out. This would keep going on untill all the kids but one were out. A common ryme that evryone would know was "Eeny Meeny Miney Moe".
