About the author

Petrus Gerardus Peeters (1829–1887) is known for Chronologische beschrijving van Tegelen benevens aanteekeningen over Belfeld en Steijl, a Dutch historical work focused on Tegelen and the nearby places Belfeld and Steijl.

The book is a chronicle of local history rather than a novel, gathering events, places, and community details into a single narrative. Modern catalog records and public-domain editions identify him as the author and date him to 1829–1887.

Little biographical information was readily confirmed beyond his authorship and dates, but his work remains valuable as a record of local history in the Netherlands and is still accessible today through public-domain archives.
