About this listen

In which the attentions of the vigilant Peter Stuyvesant are turned to the southern borders of New Netherlands, where the comically pompous General Van Poffenburgh erects a fort and enforces strict military discipline with buffoonish zeal. Amidst the strange wilderness and bizarre disputes over regulations such as hair length, the spirit of valour and the peculiarities of frontier life are vividly unfolded with a mixture of gravitas and gentle satire.
