Synopsis

Arriving in New America in the mid-1600s from religious persecution in Rouen, France, Marie’s life is as new and rich as her adopted province in the Hudson River Valley. America was a vast, rich, untapped land that attracted business opportunists, those religiously persecuted in Europe, and those who wanted to conquer and rule. So Dutch, English, German, Spanish, and French settlers poured in—to a land already occupied and organized by Indian tribes such as the Iroquois. The mixture and interplay of cultures was extraordinary! European settlers brought skills, education, art, and altruistic values, but they also brought prejudices, fears, weapons, and ambitions. And that is where this story excels, in weaving Marie’s pure values with the conflicting motives of settlers, Indians, religious leaders, and European-style governments in a largely uncontrolled country. The Hudson River Valley became a pivotal crucible for America and her values. Marie, From Rouen tells that story. *This is the Large Type format version.*
