Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Huguenot settlers of New Paltz, New York, during the 17th and 18th centuries. The author delves into the rich history of this community, tracing their journey from their original homeland in France to their new life in the New World. The book explores the establishment of their church and its early struggles, the unique way they organized their land ownership through the "Duzine," and the social and religious conflicts they faced as they integrated with other European settlers in the region. The book is particularly compelling in its examination of the contentious relationship between the French Huguenot settlers of New Paltz and the Dutch settlers of Kingston, highlighting the challenges of religious and cultural assimilation in early America. The detailed records of land divisions and the legal disputes chronicled in the book provide a unique insight into the practical realities of early American life and shed light on the complex dynamics of land ownership and community building in the formative years of this nation.
