Elizabeth Coatsworth is now one of America's beloved children's writers about American history (although she has written several about other countries, including the delightful Japanese tale, The Cat Who Went to Heaven). This is one of her early books, pub. in 1951. It is about the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam and the threat from the English. Besides having a delightful little New Amsterdam girl, it also has the historical character, Peter Stuyvesant.
