Uncover the Forgotten Legacy of the French in New England
For centuries, the history of New England has been viewed through an English lens, while the legacy of the French has remained largely hidden. “How the French Came to New England” is a long-overdue tribute to the enduring spirit of the forgotten pioneers who shaped the culture, politics and economy of the region.
This book is a collection of stories that begins with the bold explorer Samuel de Champlain and ends with Jacques Pépin and Charles Shay. One way or another, they each left an indelible mark on New England. This book brings to life the resilience, resistance and enduring spirit of the French whose vibrant communities blossomed in mill towns, farming regions and lumber camps. You’ll discover stories of struggle, survival and achievement—stories that history may have forgotten but you won’t.
Inside you’ll discover:
Riveting tales of French explorers and the Québécois migration to New England
The fierce conflicts of the French and Indian Wars—and what was really at stake
How French Huguenots became targets in the Salem witch trials
The rise and fall of Acadia (now Maine) and the tragic exile of its people
France’s surprising role in winning American independence
Personal accounts of Franco-American textile workers and life in “Little Canadas”
Fascinating portraits of icons like Paul Revere, Eva Tanguay, Jack Kerouac and Nap Lajoie
If you think you know New England’s past—think again.
This compelling history will change the way you see the region—and the French legacy that still echoes through it.
