The True and Last Declaration of the Inhabitants of the Cevennes is a historical document written by Thomas Parkhurst in 1703. It recounts the experiences of the Protestant inhabitants of the Cevennes region in southern France during the Camisard rebellion, a series of uprisings against the Catholic monarchy that took place between 1702 and 1704. The declaration is a plea for help from the outside world, as the Camisards were facing brutal repression by the French army and were in desperate need of supplies and support. The document describes the atrocities committed by the Catholic forces, including the burning of villages and the massacre of civilians, and highlights the bravery and resilience of the Camisard fighters.The True and Last Declaration of the Inhabitants of the Cevennes is an important historical document that sheds light on a little-known chapter of French history.
