 “BLACKWOOD HISTORY AND PIONEERS” BOOK.” is the next book hopefully to be published soon with the help of a Grant from somewhere.

Margot started researching for this book in 1980 after the publication of her 1st book – ‘Aspects of Early Blackwood’ in 1980. Now and after having in total, 5,000 books printed in 5 publications and only about 10 of these books left, it is time for the next book to be printed.  The new book after 42 years of research is currently over 700 pages and a wealth information of early Blackwood history. The money to be granted, if successful, through some funding should be enough for an E-book to be made as well as a printed version.

So if Blackwood and its pioneers and their families want to see this book published, I need some help on getting a grant  to have my book published.. If anyone has an idea how this can be done please get in touch with me – Margot Hitchcock at – margothitchcock@bigpond.com
