One student from each class portrayed the colony's Dutch governor Peter "Peg Leg Pete" Stuyvesant, while others played the roles of Dutch colonists trying to persuade him to surrender (as usual, I played the on-the-scene reporter).
Governor Stuyvesant was prepared to defend his colony, until he was informed that his supply of gun powder was damp and useless. Without a shot being fired, New Amsterdam was handed over to the British who renamed the colony New York.
