Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the forgotten history of a small Huguenot colony nestled along the Hackensack River in New Jersey. Led by David des Marest, a devout Protestant fleeing religious persecution in Europe, these families sought refuge and a place to freely practice their faith in the New World. The author meticulously reconstructs the colony's story, drawing on public records and family documents to paint a vivid picture of their daily lives and struggles. Despite facing challenges, including cultural assimilation and the ever-present threat of conflict, the Huguenots persevered, leaving an indelible mark on the region. Through their unwavering faith, resilience, and commitment to community, these pioneers not only carved out a new life for themselves but also contributed significantly to the social and cultural fabric of New Jersey. This book sheds light on their often-overlooked legacy, reminding us of the enduring impact of those who dared to seek freedom and build a better future.
