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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Lester Demarest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798259160682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Kenneth Lester Demarest","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623701065983,"sku":"9798259160682","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-demarest-legacy-kenneth-lester-demarest-9798259160682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
