About the Book
Chicago has had a strong and vibrant Flemish community for 150 years. For most of the last 50 years one man, Arnold Van Puymbroeck, a native of Vrasene, near Antwerp, led this community. This book, written for the Belgian American Historical Society of Chicago, is not only a biography of this man but a chronicle of Chicago's "Belgische Colonie".
