Fort Hoop
(1633 WIC)
In 1633 A.D., the WIC of the United Nederlandt
(Netherlands) Company built this fortified trading house, of the Roman
fortification design, at the south bank of the little river, a tributary
river of the Versche or Fresh River, now known as Hartford on the
Connecticut River in the State of Connecticut in the United States of
America of the United Nations. The Roman fort design was not well planned,
as coordinated out of Fort Oranije (which had taken the place of the
earlier 1614 A.D. Fort Nassau) and Fort Amsterdam, to be the Northeast
fortification and trading center of the WIC. Peter Minuit, who was then
Governor of the Nieuw Nederlandt (New Netherlands), a Walloon
French-speaking from what is now present day Wallonia in Belgium, did not
follow the line of building fortifications as to Roman design, possibly
out of haste and lack of resources, or poor leadership, or a combination
of the both.
This was Fort Hoop (Fort Hope), in Suckiaug (Black Earth
Soil), of the Algic Speaking Peoples, commonly known as the Mahicans,
