Yep, you're right. Your question.
In April 1644, he attacked the Spanish-held island of Saint Martin and was wounded. He returned to the Netherlands, where his right leg was amputated and replaced with a wooden peg. Supposedly, Stuyvesant was given the nickname "Old Silver Nails" because he used a stick of wood driven full of silver nails as a prosthetic limb.* A cigarette brand sold by Imperial Tobacco is named Peter Stuyvesant after him. These cigarettes are popular in Australia, Greece and South Africa, where they are known as 'Stuyvos' and 'Stuyvies' respectively."Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes."
