They sold it to us for goods that were worth the equivalent of 60 Florijn!
A fair price I think

24 dollars is what they say here, but the Indians had no conception of what it meant to own land. To them it was an impossibility, like owning the sky or the air. So, they thought they were sticking it to the Dutch who must be crazy to think they could own the land.I think the thousands of Native Americans who were living there at the time, might disagree with you.
