    About this ebook

    Capie, Rees and other craftspeople work to build a new world settlement using ancient arts and commerce methods of the renowned West Indies Company and East India Company. They find balance and success in a new land. Their ways in arts and commerce attract those trying to capture the secrets of the people, and methods, and tools of the fast-growing colony.

    The four kids learning a craft at the shop known as Orange Cerlo in the center of the new settlement town get an unexpected education. The shops keeper and master artisan, Capie, has been confronted today with the disappearance of a trusted confidant and fellow artisan. He suspects the involvement of those not of the first comers to the settlement of New Amsterdam. The apprentice says, “These are not ordinary objects. These are not ordinary men, I think.”

    Capie prepares for that evenings invite only Pottery Shop Festivity that will bring together other ‘useers’ and shop keepers to show and sell product with special capabilities to local and foreign patrons, artists, and invitees. Mr. Paullette is dispatched with a team of artisan soldiers to recover the missing Mr. Tempaert, who may have been kidnapped or killed, and the stolen unique items from Orange Cerlo and Mr. Tempaert’s burned out business on main street.

      Chapter 1 Orange Cerlo: One Day

      The story begins on this one day. One Day.

      Scene 1 The Town – New Amsterdam

      The town had all the people a new town required to build or create from scratch those things in building a new settlement. The original five businesses still stood in the buildings which they were started by the families or men with the skills, know-how and tools of those businesses. Rarely had foreigners been so successful in entering a new land. The success had as much to do with willingness of the new people to get to know those whose land they purchased as the useful trade between the old communities and new communities. The convenient location at the mouth of the sea on two rivers or one major river depending on how you counted its branches provided booming trade and natural defensible geographies. Initially trade was light making travelers of the townspeople in order to conduct some business with other towns and to increase those coming and going from and to their town from other places.

      A man dressed in a brown wool shirt and heavy black wool pants with a black ink stained blue dyed apron stands behind a large desk with machines noisily working in the background directly behind him. The man adds a few last pieces of freshly printed pages to the stack on the desk. The front door opens the bell above the door rings and pulls a string ringing bells from the front of the printing shop all the way around the noisy machines in the back of the building and shop. A tall thin man with blond hair a white hat banded with a red sash, a thin red shirt and orange leather pants with suspenders over each shoulder and dark orange leather fur lined overcoat walks quickly into the printing shop. As the entering man walks towards the desk he looks up and to his right at the bells still ringing announcing his arrival to the proprietor of the printing shop even if he is busy preparing documents for printing next to the noisy machines in the back.

      Capie, says the man behind the desk. You are right on time and so are your announcements. The ink has just dried but I’ve put them in this box for you to carry.

      Hello Gert, says Capie extending his hand eager to engage in
