*Persecuted in France, great numbers of Protestants known as Huguenots fled the country in the last years of the 17th century. Some of these refugees were encouraged to settle among the Dutch free burghers in the new colony at the Cape of Good Hope. Here they were to leave a legacy which is still acknowledged today.
*The Story of the Huguenots at the Cape
The Huguenots were encouraged by the Dutch to emigrate to the Cape not only because they shared the same Protestant religion but because many had been agriculturists with a good knowledge of cultivating the vine and making vinegar, wine and brandy. Numerous illustrations and photographs. 72 Pages. Contents clean and tightly bound.
