History of the Huguenot Emigration to America 2 vols. in 1 [Hardcover]

Charles Baird (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1973

This is the standard work on the Huguenot emigration to America. 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 and Great Britain) in the last quarter of the 17th century to the time of the Revolutionary War. Throughout the text, in both narratives and records, there is a profusion of genealogical detail on the early Huguenot families of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia, later families having dispersed to Pennsylvania and other states. In addition, extensive genealogical notices are given in footnotes, with references to sources, thus serving as a guide to further information.

Doing genealogy (family history) can be so sterile at times. This book brings family and area history to live and in prospective. Anyone of Huguenot roots will enjoy.

If your family genealogy leads to the Huguenots - this book is a must. It was a fabulous research tool in my search.
Even if you are not a student of genealogy, the story of our early settlers struggling in search of religious freedom is inspiring.
I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible on Huguenot Travels..., December 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: History of the Huguenot Emigration to America 2 vols. in 1 (Hardcover)

I am Huguenot by descent but had NO idea what these people had suffered. To read diary entries and personal accounts was thrilling.

It was written in the 1860's (I think) so no photos. It's about 9x12,802pgs.It's not a coffee table book. Mine came without a dust jacket, but oh wow...what's inside. If you order it, you'll love it!
