Memoirs Of A Huguenot Family is a historical book written by James Fontaine and published in 1853. The book is a detailed account of the Fontaine family, who were French Huguenots, and their experiences during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Huguenots were a Protestant religious group who faced persecution and discrimination in France during the 16th and 17th centuries. The book begins with the story of the Fontaine family's escape from France to England in 1685, following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by King Louis XIV. The Edict of Nantes had granted religious freedom to the Huguenots in France, but its revocation meant that they were no longer protected by law and were subject to persecution. The memoirs provide a vivid account of the journey of the Fontaine family to England, their struggles to adapt to a new country, and their eventual settlement in Virginia, USA. The book also includes descriptions of the family's daily life, their religious beliefs, and their interactions with other settlers in Virginia.Memoirs Of A Huguenot Family is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the experiences of the Huguenots during a tumultuous period in European history. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of religion, persecution, and migration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
