In this first modern history of the Huguenots' New World experience, Jon Butler traces the Huguenot diaspora across late seventeenth-century Europe, explores the causes and character of their American emigration, and reveals the Huguenots' secular and religious assimilation in three remarkably different societies—Boston, New York, and South Carolina.

"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.

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.

Doubtless one of the scarcest Huguenot studies and yet unquestionably a classic, Lee's "Huguenots in France and America" is essentially a history rather than a treatise on emigration or a list of names, with primary emphasis on the exposition of facts and notable events. It is an exhaustive account of the origins of the Huguenots in France, their persecution and their subsequent flight, embracing sketches of many leading contemporaries and an account of the Reformation of the church in Europe and kindred circumstances resulting in the rise of French Protestantism. Particularly close attention is given to the major events leading to the Huguenot dispersion to England, Holland, Germany, and America; namely, the St. Bartholomew Massacre (1572), the assassination of King Henry IV (1610), and the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685). An important section of nearly 100 pages is devoted to the Huguenots of America, with emphasis on the formidable Huguenot settlements at Oxford (Mass.), New Rochelle (N.Y.), New Paltz (N.Y.), Frenchtown (R.I.), and Jamestown (S.C.). The work further contains a "List of the Names of Huguenot Families in America," documenting the arrival in Boston of those families who later settled in Maine, New York, and Rhode Island; and the names of those who settled in the South, including the settlement on the Santee River in South Carolina.
