In the July 27, 1998, edition of Sports Illustrated, columnist Frank Deford lamented, “I am from a forgotten tribe. Not lost, you understand. That’s romantic: lost. My tribe is simply forgotten. I am a Huguenot. A French Huguenot. Who remembers us?”

If the number of books and Web sites is any indication, plenty of people remember the Huguenots and want to know who they were, what they believed, what they suffered, and where they went. Here are just some of the resources the authors and editors of this issue recommend.
