Peter Stuyvesant, the Last Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam

CHAPTER VIII
17/35

The Swedes were allowed to remove their artillery; twelve men were to march out with full arms and accoutrements; all the rest retained their side-arms, and the officers held their personal property.
At noon the Dutch, with pealing bugles and flying banners again entered upon possession of the fort.

Many of the Swedes took the oath of allegiance to the New Netherland government.

The next day was Sunday.

Chaplain Megapolensis preached a sermon to the troops.

But a short distance above fort Casimir there was another Swedish fort called Christina.
