Synopsis

Firsthand view of a late 17th‑century refugee’s move to Boston A French Protestant refugee recounts arrival in 1687, settling pressures, and daily life in a new English colony. The narrative covers land grants, housing, labor costs, and the mix of refugees, natives, and town life.

Written as letters and reports, the account blends practical matters with observations on weather, trade, religion, and governance. It offers a window into how a small community navigates settlement, economy, and security in a Boston setting far from home.

• Updates on land, housing, and the costs for acquiring property and starting a farm.


• Practical notes on local trade, currency, duties, and the flow of goods between London, Boston, and abroad.


• Descriptions of climate, seasons, crops, and food prices shaping daily life and work.


• Commentary on religious life, church differences, and the presence of multiple faiths.

Ideal for readers of colonial American history, religious migration, and early immigrant experiences.
