Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch director-general of the New Netherland colony, lost his right leg due to a gunpowder explosion in his youth while serving in a military campaign in the Caribbean. The injury required amputation, leading him to wear a wooden leg for the rest of his life. Despite this disability, he continued to lead effectively and is remembered for his role in the early history of New York.
