"Des Champ: From the Field." By Leo Beauchamp, 1988.
Scope and Contents
"Des Champ: From the Field" is a work of historical fiction about Jean Beauchamp and his wife and family. The novel is 24 pages in length, and was written by Leo Beauchamp in 1988. The Beauchamp family dates back 400 years to Nanteuil, a village in southwestern France. The Beauchamps of today descend from two brothers, Jean and Jacques Beauchamp, who settled in the area around Pointe-aux-Trembles, Quebec, in the early 1600s. In this work, Leo Beauchamp, an 11th generation descendant of Jacques, details the life of Jean Beauchamp after he moved to Quebec with his family. While Jean started his new life in Quebec, he often daydreamed about his childhood days in France. Leo Beauchamp of Walhalla, North Dakota, donated this work to Dr. Virgil Benoit. Dr. Benoit then deposited the work in Special Collections in April 2008 (2009-2944).
