  • "The story of the persecution of the Huguenots under Louis XIV and their subsequent flight to North America."@en
  • "This book is the first volume of Conan Doyle's masterful historical tale of France, the Huguenots and King Louis XIV."@en
  • ""I take a New Englander, a Puritan, as one type of the seventeenth century, and a New Yorker, the woodman, as another, and I precipitate these two into the court of Louis XIV, and mix them up in the European history of that time - very much as Scott threw Quentin Durward, the young Scotchman, into the French court. I have taken a lot of pains to make these two types exact studies. Then I shift the scene back to America. It will be something new in the way of an American historical novel. You see it will be the story of the two continents. The woodman will use the phrases of the wood, and the New Englander is rather Biblical." --A. C. Doyle."
  • "A small band of religious-freedom-seeking Huguenots escape France, only to hazard dangerous sea voyages, stranding on an iceberg, and a perilous trek through Canadian forests, to avoid both Catholic Frenchmen and Indians."
  • "It was the sort of window which was common in Paris about the end of the seventeenth century. It was high, mullioned, with a broad transom across the centre, and above the middle of the transom a tiny coat of arms three caltrops gules upon a field argent let into the diamond-paned glass. Outside there projected a stout iron rod, from which hung a gilded miniature of a bale of wool which swung and squeaked with every puff of wind."
  • "A fantastic historical novel by the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Set in France during the reign of Louis XIV, the story follows Amory de Catinat, a Huguenot (Protestant) guardsman of the king during a time when France, then predominantly Catholic, became more and more difficult for Protestants, resulting in the Edict of Nates being revoked and the Huguenots being deported to America."@en
