Thanks for the ping, the WIC was not as important to the Dutch as the VOC but still a it made a small country big.

I had to reread it a couple of times & see your point.

I also grew up in NYC (Queens, in fact) but don’t remember learning about the Flushing Remonstrance (nor what I had for lunch today for that matter). Sent the article to my sibilngs whose memories may be better. Pretty exciting stuff. Thanks so much for posting.

These 30 Flushing farmers were really brave.

Thanks for the ping.

Yes, Dr. S., ...they were indeed brave. I guess we've been the Land of the Brave for a long, long time.

And you, PR, are most welcome.

Thank you! It’s wonderful that anything has survived the grown of Queens and Long Island. I’m sharing with family who grew up in that area.

Fascinating info—I was previously unaware of this incident or document. I was reading the article and wondering what the house looked like—and you a posted a picture! Thanks so much!
