Before the inhabitants of New Amsterdam had risen from their beds, the Native Americans spread out over the town, entering houses and committing what the colonists with hindsight called “intolerable insolence.”2 Eventually, the situation escalated beyond control. Former fiscael Hendrick van Dijck lived in a house on the “Heere Straet” (now Broadway) and his garden bordered the shore where the Indian canoes were still beached. When he noticed an Indian woman picking “a few peaches or other fruit from his garden,” Van Dijck attacked and killed her. In retaliation, an unknown Native American shot Van Dijck in his side with an arrow. His neighbor, former schepen Paulus Leendertsz van der Grift, probably coming to his aid, was struck on the head with a tomahawk .3 Subsequently other colonists, led by fiscael Cornelis van Tienhoven, rushed to the shore to attack the Native Americans, sparking the so-called 1.

The Indians also took more than one hundred captives and burned down twenty -eight farms. The colonial records do not reveal how many of them died in the fighting.4 The Peach War had a huge impact on New Netherland. Many colonists were relatively new arrivals and had not experienced Kieft’s War (1643– 1645). Although a few colonists had been killed since then, the war of 1655 was on a totally different scale, and its immediate effects reverberated throughout the colony. It caused a collective trauma that the people of New Netherland would not soon forget. It also impacted the director general, Petrus Stuyvesant, even though he was away from New Amsterdam when hostilities broke out. In the proclamation for a day of prayer in January of 1656, Stuyvesant compared recent events with the conclusion of the First Anglo-Dutch War in 1654: God had shown his “merciful protection” by keeping New Netherland out of war with its English neighbors, but this favor had been “ungratefully misused.” He had therefore altered “the appearance of His favor towards us . . . visiting and judging us, chastising us . . . with a sudden and unexpected ambush by the wild barbarians, the natives of these lands.”5 Native American..." @default.
