    Dec 22 2023

    An indentured servant boy with a questionable origin story, supposedly inherits a large piece of Long Island from a Native American leader, selling much of it each new buyer has a vested interest in John Scott's claim being legitimate. What follows is a story of conflict and takeover of the New Netherland Colony, treason against the Connecticut colony as its' Long island settlements pull away, pregnant women smuggling objects into prison, all the while John Scott reinventing himself, often falling upwards in life, and helping to shape the boundaries (and existence) of three US States. Believe as much or as little of this story as you wish...
