Let's Build a Wall




In 1653, Peter Stuyvesant, fearing an attack by the British from New England, constructed a 15 foot high defensive palisade across lower New Amsterdam. But the English did not ride down the Major Deegan Parkway, they came by sea and the line drawn by that useless palisade was called Wall Street. How now Dow Jones?
