Huguenot Refugees in the Settling of Colonial America by Peter Steven Gannon,Gabrielle Maupin Bielenstein,Huguenot Society of America Pdf

"The Huguenots came to this country to start a new life in which they would be able to worship God in accordance with their Protestant religious faith based on the teachings of John Calvin. What they brought here with them was far more important than the possessions, money, homes, treasures which so many had to leave behind in fleeing persecution, imprisonment, or murder. Whjat the Huguenots brought with them to America can be summarized as a composite of entrepreneurial zeal, commercial and industrial experience, skillfulness in crafts, self-discipline, perseverance, adaptablility, integrity of character, strict morality, a striving for excellence in culture, education and the fine arts, and above all, a devout and enduring religious faith"--from Editor's preface (pages 9 and 10). Includes lists of Huguenot refugees.

Huguenot Refugees in Colonial New York by Paula Wheeler Carlo Pdf

Drawing comparisons with the broader Huguenot diaspora, this book reassesses the prevailing view that Huguenots in North America quickly conformed to Anglicanism and abandoned the French language and other distinctive characteristics in order to assimilate into Anglo-American culture. Although the standard interpretation may still be true for Huguenots in heterogeneous urban communities, it should be modified for Huguenots in ethnically and religiously homogeneous rural settlements like New Paltz and New Rochelle, where the process was more akin to a gradual acculturation.

History of the Huguenot Emigration to America by Charles Washington Baird Pdf

This is the standard work on the Huguenot emigration to America, on which subject there is no higher authority than Charles Baird! Baird's work is so thorough that there are few Huguenot names for which some new fact or illustration is not supplied. The bulk of the work is devoted to the important emigration of French Protestants (via the Netherlands & Great Britain) in the last quarter of the 17th century to the time of the Revolutionary War. Throughout the text, in both narratives & records, there is a profusion of genealogical detail on the early Huguenot families of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, & Virginia, later families having dispersed to Pennsylvania & other states. In addition, extensive genealogical notices are given in footnotes, with references to sources, thus serving as a guide to further information. Some key material is provided in the appendices, which contain an important list of "Walloon & French Petitioners" (1621) who asked permission to settle in Virginia & who may have emigrated to New Netherland (New York) instead, & "Notes from the Walloon Records of Leyden," 1597-1627, which further identifies these same settlers. The names alone of such a large number of emigrants, recorded with painstaking care in text, notes, & appendices, are sufficient testimony of the book's longstanding appeal & the reason it remains the basic sourcebook for research into Huguenot origins.

French Santee by Susan Baldwin Bates,Harriott Cheves Leland Pdf

At the end of the 17th century, driven by terrible persecution in France, thousands of Huguenots fled their country in search of religious freedom. A large number found what they sought in the fledgling colony of (South) Carolina in the New World Here these noblemen, craftsmen and artisans took up axes and guns and struggled to build their homes and survive in the wilderness with their wives and children. Nowhere was this more evident than on the banks of the Santee River where a group of French and Swiss Protestant refugees arrived in 1687 and where, "a sail from a boat was our first house and the earth our bed. A cabin like that of savages...was our second house" Through their letters and tantalizing bits and pieces of recorded history they left behind, their struggles and triumphs to forge a new settlement are revealed. At French Santee, they established a wealthy plantation society until time and fate returned the land they had conquered to wilderness once more. This is an in-depth study of the 17th century Huguenot settlement on the Santee River in South Carolina, with biographical sketches of the more than 100 French Protestant families who lived there. Detailed maps, photographs and copies of old plats show the changes in the area as the settlement grew and evolved into the 18th century. The book includes translations of two letters written from Carolina prior to 1700 explanatory notes and footnotes. You may begin by reading about your own family, but you will soon find yourself checking out their neighbors and friends tracing land sales and untangling relationships.

French Huguenots by Abraham D. Lavender Pdf

This insightful book analyzes the stormy development of the Huguenots, the Protestants of France, as they broke from their traditional Catholic society. It begins in the early 1500s, and goes to the early 1800s in the United States. This book shows how the Huguenots became a prominent part of the Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture, but also kept a French identity, bridging two contrasting cultures. Genealogy, religion, ethnicity, and Americanization are major concepts analyzed sociologically and historically.

From Strangers to Citizens by Randolph Vigne,Charles Littleton,Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland Pdf

Fifty-seven contributions from international scholars describe the experiences of the immigrants, many fleeing religious persecution, who came to Britain and its colonies and Ireland between 1550 and 1750. Originally presented at a London conference in 2001, the papers consider the ways in which immigrant groups integrated into their host societies and the ways in which they maintained their own distinctive identities. Topics include, for example, the "stranger churches," contributions of immigrants to English intellectual life, and political consciousness among Huguenot refugees.

The persecution of the Huguenots in France, followed by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, unleashed one of the largest migration waves of early modern Europe. Focusing on the fate of French Protestants who fled to the Dutch Republic, Experiencing Exile examines how Huguenot refugees dealt with the complex realities of living as strangers abroad, and how they seized upon religion and stories of their own past to comfort them in exile.

Fortress of the Soul by Neil Kamil Pdf

French Huguenots made enormous contributions to the life and culture of colonial New York during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Huguenot craftsmen were the city's most successful artisans, turning out unrivaled works of furniture which were distinguished by unique designs and arcane details. More than just decorative flourishes, however, the visual language employed by Huguenot artisans reflected a distinct belief system shaped during the religious wars of sixteenth-century France. In Fortress of the Soul, historian Neil Kamil traces the Huguenots' journey to New York from the Aunis-Saintonge region of southwestern France. There, in the sixteenth century, artisans had created a subterranean culture of clandestine workshops and meeting places inspired by the teachings of Bernard Palissy, a potter, alchemist, and philosopher who rejected the communal, militaristic ideology of the Huguenot majority which was centered in the walled city of La Rochelle. Palissy and his followers instead embraced a more fluid, portable, and discrete religious identity that encouraged members to practice their beliefs in secret while living safely—even prospering—as artisans in hostile communities. And when these artisans first fled France for England and Holland, then left Europe for America, they carried with them both their skills and their doctrine of artisanal security. Drawing on significant archival research and fresh interpretations of Huguenot material culture, Kamil offers an exhaustive and sophisticated study of the complex worldview of the Huguenot community. From the function of sacred violence and alchemy in the visual language of Huguenot artisans, to the impact among Protestants everywhere of the destruction of La Rochelle in 1628, to the ways in which New York's Huguenots interacted with each other and with other communities of religious dissenters and refugees, Fortress of the Soul brilliantly places American colonial history and material life firmly within the larger context of the early modern Atlantic world.
