TFW your horrifying, notorious ancestor is a literal #unsolvedmysteries case. 😂 #cornelisvantienhoven #vantienhoven #peterstuyvesant #newnetherland #newamsterdam #newyorkcityhistory #theislandatthecenteroftheworld #russellshorto #buythisbook #readingisfundamental - I honestly wish they taught us this important history in school! It was neglected in favor of the slightly later Revolutionary era, and I never knew I had such a strong connection to it until earlier this year. What a surprise!
