> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > IQ: Are you famous for “buying” Manhattan? Bravo, Professor! YESSSS, I am Peter Minuit, Dutch merchant and colonizer of the Americas. I purchased the island of Manhattan from the Canarsie Indians for a variety of manufactured goods (kettles, tools, cloth) that I valued at about 60 guilders (often translated as $24). (Notice the color of my name!) ---
