Book Title: A History Of Blanchardsville, Gem Of The Pecatonica

    The Blanchardville Woman's Club has compiled this book of history and
information about the Village of Blanchardville. We realize that it is not a
complete story of the village as that would require many volumes. It is our
hope, however, that this compilation will give an adequate overview of the
events and people that have made Blanchardville what it is today.

    It is evident to all who read this book that its value largely rests upon
the contributions given to us by interested people. For their cordial aid and
for their valuable suggestions we return sincere thanks.

    Mrs. Bernardine Schuler has been the chairperson in charge of this project.
The club wishes to express a special thanks to May Schiesser, who has spent
countless hours researching, writing, and coordinating information with Mrs.
Schuler.

    We hope that you, the reader, will truly enjoy the fruits of the labors of
many.

    The Blanchards were among the thousands of French Protestants or Huguenots
as they were called, who fled France in 1685 after King Louis XIV revoked the
Edict of Nantes which had given them religious freedom.
