About this event
Instructor: Dr. Elizabeth Georgian is a Professor of History and chair of the Department of History, Political Science, and Philosophy at USCA, where she teaches a variety of courses, including women’s history. In her spare time, she enjoys camping, kayaking, and hiking with her husband and rescued greyhounds. Description: The French Connection is about the 16th-century struggle of the French Huguenots to establish a settlement in the New World. The man who led that struggle was Captain Jean Ribaut. His story has all the elements of a blockbuster movie: politics, war, betrayal, adventure, murder, Indian raids, kidnappings, mutinies, and starvation. Join the Huguenots as they make their way to Paris Island, SC, and Jacksonville, FL. It is a story you have probably never heard, but one that needs to be told.
