FOREWORD A French refugees papers, business records and personal letters yellowed by time and blackened by fire but yet alive, formed, some years ago, the inspiration for this study. The search for similar and relevant material, in public and private collections along the Atlantic seaboard, soon marked its inception. Its completion today is the fruit of that search and has been facilitated by the kindness of many people, to all of whom my thanks are due. They go in the first place to the history department of Columbia University for the SchiflE Fellowship which made possible much of the necessary research and very specially to Professor Carlton J. H. Hayes and Professor John A. Krout under whose guidance this study has been written. To librarians and assistants in many eastern libraries, particularly the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, the Boston Athenaeum, the American Philosophical Society, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the John Carter Brown Library in Providence, where Mr. Lawrence Wroth has been exceptionally kind, I am indebted for valuable aid in finding rare and forgotten material and for clues to still further treasures. I am likewise indebted to the descendants of the French revolutionary exiles, especially MissElizabeth Keating, for a welcome of the Old World in its grace and of the New World in its warmth, and for permission to see and use their family re cords. Miss Louise Beaman, Mrs. Avery Claflin and Miss Beulah Parker have given me friendly and patient assistance in the tedious tasks of typing, translating and editing, Mrs. Ernest Tracy in the difficult one of proofreading they all deserve my sincere thanks. Last but by no means least I wish to express my gratitude to Professor Gilbert Chinard of Princeton University for stimulating and generous assistance and for the opportunity to publish this study under the aus pices of the Institut Frangais de Washington., T T1 J XT - r, FRANCES S.

Book Russian Refugees in France and the United States Between the World Wars

Download or read book Russian Refugees in France and the United States Between the World Wars written by James E. Hassell and published by American Philosophical Society. This book was released on 1991 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand publication. Revolution in 1917 brutally shattered old Russia in all its aspects. Something on the order of a million & a half people consequently fled or were expelled from the territory of the former Russian Empire. This study, undertaken before the advent of glasnost & perestroika, describes the experiences of Russians who arrived in the U.S. between the two world wars. But the spiritual center of the entire Russian diaspora was France, particularly Paris, so France must be part of the story. Many of the refugees who ultimately settled in the U.S. passed through France. Many had connections in France; therefore, some knowledge of the French situation is crucial for an understanding of the emigres in this country & indeed throughout the world.

Book When the United States Spoke French

Download or read book When the United States Spoke French written by Francois Furstenberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A bright, absorbing account of a short period in history that still resounds today.” —Kirkus Reviews Beautifully written and brilliantly argued, When the United States Spoke French offers a fresh perspective on the tumultuous years of America as a young nation, when the Atlantic world’s first republican experiments were put to the test. It explores the country’s formative period from the viewpoint of five distinguished Frenchmen who took refuge in America after leaving their homes and families in France, crossing the Atlantic, and landing in Philadelphia. Through their stories, we see some of the most famous events of early American history in a new light—from the battles with Native Americans on the western frontier to the Haitian Revolution, the Whiskey Rebellion to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

Book The Road to Louisiana

  • Author : Carl A. Brasseaux
  • Publisher : University of Louisiana
  • Release : 2016-09-29
  • ISBN : 9781935754602

Download or read book The Road to Louisiana written by Carl A. Brasseaux and published by University of Louisiana. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology constitutes the first attempt to fill comprehensively one of the most enduring lacunae in Louisiana historiography--the French-Antillian migration to the lower Mississippi Valley. Generations of Louisiana historians have neglected this influx, involving more than 10,000 Saint-Domingue refugees between 1792 and 1810. These newcomers were subsequently joined by far smaller numbers of French citizens from Guadeloupe and Martinique. Not only were these immigrants largely responsible for the establishment and success of the state's sugar industry, but they also gave New Orleans many of its most notable early institutions--the French opera, newspapers, schools, and colleges--and ultimately its antebellum French flavor. The refugees also contributed Creole cuisine, Creole language, okra, and voodoo to their adopted homeland. Despite their significance, the refugees have attracted remarkably little scholarly attention. Louisiana's pioneer historians--FranCois Xavier Martin, Charles E. A. GayarrE, and AlcEe Fortier--and their successors have generally accorded them only passing mention. The articles assembled in this anthology are the first to document the migrations and resettlement of these unfortunate people and to assess their impact upon New Orleans. Three of the four articles have appeared earlier in various scholarly journals, some of which are now defunct. Two of the articles have been translated from the original French by David Cheramie to make them accessible to English-speaking historians and genealogists, who had previously been unable to extract and utilize the wealth of information presented by the authors. The authors, widely recognized for their lasting contributions to the field of Saint-Domingue studies, trace the refugees' long, hard road to Louisiana. Thomas Fiehrer, an expert on the French Antilles, provides an overview of Louisiana's historical Caribbean connection. Gabriel Debien, dean of the French-Antillian historians, investigates the temporary relocation of the Saint-Domingue refugees in Cuba (1793-1815). Debien and the late New Orleans historian and genealogist RenE LeGardeur recount the small-scale migration of refugees into southern Louisiana preceding the massive, early nineteenth-century influx, analyzed by noted Canadian historian Paul Lachance. Finally, the editors' introduction puts the foregoing essays into historical perspective and examines the impact of the refugees on Louisiana's rural parishes.
