Chapter XIV
THE BARGAIN WITH STUYVESANT It seemed a long march. We had aroused a single fort--a northern outpost of the city. They took us past that; following a crude corduroy road. A noisy, blustering cortege we made in the woods. Some fifty Dutchmen, armed with fowling pieces and swords; carrying torches.
