Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Story of the Huguenots: A Sixteenth Century Narrative Wherein the French, Spaniards and Indians Were the Actors
This is a simple story of the Century in which Flor ida made its appearance in written history; of other times and manners; of men whose forms the writer has sought to once more 2call upon the stage of Life's strange theatre, if only like the ghosts at Macbeth's feast to de nounce the crimes and cruel statecraft which stained Florida's first historic pages.
If it be sad and tragic blame not the writer, but those who made the record. Be not too harsh in judgment even upon them; they were but creatures of their times and circumstances; waifs of destiny cast by the break ers of relentless fate upon our shores.
To the author's Mother, herself a descendant of the Huguenots, this book is dedicated.
