Set in the historical context of New Amsterdam, the narrative explores the eccentric governance of William Kieft, whose unorthodox methods and volatile temperament led to unrest among the inhabitants. The story highlights the use of local resources, such as clams and oysters, to sustain the community and the unique practice of converting shells into currency. The governor's decree allowing tavern-keepers to honor a local figure, Stoffel Brinkerhoff, with painted signs adds a quirky touch to the unfolding drama of civic life during this turbulent period.
