Where was the footprint of the Dutch fort?
The instructions specified that besides the slaves, Fredericks was to use anybody who was willing to work for labor, including Indians. They, however, would be paid only half as much as white men and not in specie but trading goods. Fredericks placed the footprint for the fort on the spot that is now the old Custom House, just behind Bowling Green.
What did the Dutch do with the bouweries?
The engineer was to erect a fort at the tip of the island, lay out streets, and build houses: twelve of them with sufficient land for farming and grazing. This was a priority. Five of the farms — bouweries — were to be leased to colonists for a period of six years; they were to draw straws for the privilege.
What did the Dutch call the wagon road?
The Dutch used it as a public road, which they called the wagon road to Sapokanican, another Indian settlement along the Lenape path in what is now Greenwich Village.
What was the name of the Indian settlement that Fredericks found?
Between the western shore of the pond and the area’s highest hill — it measured almost 110 feet high — Fredericks came across an Indian settlement called Werpoes. The word means “thicket”; thorn and berry bushes covered the surrounding hills.
