The Huguenots; or, Reformed French Church

Their Principles Delineated; Their Character Illustrated; Their Sufferings and Successes Recorded

In Three Parts:

1. The Huguenot in France, At Home

2. The Huguenot Dispersed in Europe

3. The Huguenot at Home in America

One man who remembered the Huguenots and set forth their story with clarity and passion was the American Presbyterian minister and church historian William Henry Foote (born in 1794). Foote collected materials and wrote his history of the Huguenots during the last decade of his life.
