Description

This historical fiction book is about the life adventures
of Pierre de Bré, a young French Huguenot, at the
time when European and Native Americans first came
into contact with each other. His family and community
were massacred by the Spanish and, as a consequence,
he lived among the Timucuan Indians of Florida
for several years before returning to France. It is a
story of harsh times in Europe - a time with divisive,
indeed tumultuous religious and political problems, and
a time when exploration of the unknown parts of the
world was so exciting, romantic, and adventurous. The
book should be of interest to anyone fascinated by the
original Native American culture or with a curiosity
of the historic events leading to the settling of North
America.
The authors motivation for writing this book came from
four distinct sources: a visit to St. Augustine, Florida,
where he became captivated with the early contribution
of the French Huguenots to the founding of the
United States; knowledge that Huguenot ancestors on
his mothers side came to the United States from France
in the late 17th century; visiting most of the places in
France and Florida mentioned in the book; and going
to elementary and high school with numerous Native
Americans.
