Book Details

Table of Contents

Part I: Four generations of Belgian people have lived and toiled in area; once there were a few who remembered early days.
Part II: Rhe antwerp departure: search for land in a strange, new land, first reach Milwaukee,
try Sheboygan, then head for Green Bay.
Part III: Death delays emigrants, and bay settlement is chosen; first winter hard; cholera strikes.
Part IV: Letters from america draw more; despite hardships, many new families in 1856-1857;
loneliness, wilderness engulf them.
Part V: Brussels soil adaptable to wheat; by 1860 living becomes easier; Civil War takes some
of new citizens, women work hard; ship building at Gardner.
Part VI: Gardner's enterprise influences Brussels, road building: Pierre arrives in '61 , builds
half-way house.
Part VII: Wayside Chapels: an apparition in Robinsonville; early churches built in
Namur, Brussels, Rosiere, Misere; discontinue home for crippled children.
Part VIII: End of Civil War revives business, boosts prices; ashes of great fire hardly cool,
before rebuilding begins.
Part IX: Belgians bring along their customs, including Kermiss, with Belgian pie, chicken
'boyoo,' and 5-piece local band.
Part X: Political influence of Belgians was slow developing, but, not their self-reliance; William Moore elected first Brussels town chairman in 1859.
