Determined to reclaim what had been lost, Kenneth L. DeMarest follows a trail of evidence across continents and centuries - from medieval Picardy to Huguenot exile, from Dutch homesteads along the Hackensack to the rugged frontier of Sussex County, and from a Civil War prison camp to the industrial streets of Paterson.\u003cbr\u003eWhat emerges is a story of faith under fire, migration in search of survival, early deaths that reshaped generations, and a silence that echoed for more than a century.\u003cbr\u003eThrough wills, land deeds, church registers, military files, cemetery surveys, and long-forgotten obituaries, DeMarest restores a lineage nearly erased by time. This is the story of refugees, settlers, farmers, soldiers, widows, and working-class families whose lives were rarely recorded - yet whose choices shaped the world that followed.\u003cbr\u003eA sweeping, deeply human journey across a millennium - and a testament to the power of one person's determination to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47883157405847,"sku":"9798259160682","price":1498.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798259160682.webp?v=1781099860","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-demarest-legacy-a-thousand-years-of-my-familys-journey-9798259160682","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
