He was a major figure in the early history of New York City.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStuyvesant's accomplishments as director-general included a great expansion for the settlement of New Amsterdam beyond the southern tip of Manhattan. Among the projects built by Stuyvesant's administration were the protective wall on Wall Street, the canal that became Broad Street, and Broadway.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough he is most commonly referred to in modern English as \"Peter Stuyvesant\", that name is not found in historical records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I.
