Title: The Huguenots in the Nipmuck Country
Author: George F. Daniels
Publisher: Estes & Lauriat
Printing Year: 1880

Condition/Details: Bound in green cloth with bright gilt embossing, this antique volume is a scarce description of the Huguenots in southern New England, where the Nipmuck Indians inhabited the land.

The Huguenots were members of the Protestant Reformed Church of France (or French Calvinists) from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Since the eighteenth century, Huguenots have been commonly designated "French Protestants", the title being suggested by their German co-religionists or "Calvinists". Protestants in France were inspired by the writings of John Calvin in the 1530s and the name Huguenots was already in use by the 1560s. By the end of the 17th century, roughly 200,000 Huguenots had been driven from France during a series of religious persecutions. They relocated primarily in England, Switzerland, Holland, the German Palatinate, and elsewhere in Northern Europe, as well as to what is now South Africa and to North America.
