In 1873 schreef hij het boek 'Geschiedenis van Lier' en in datzelfde jaar kwam ook zijn hoofdwerk 'Advocaat Ernest Staas' uit. Tijdens het schrijven van dit laatste boek was hij al ziek en hij overleed één jaar later op 39-jarige leeftijd.

Excerpt:(Submitted on January 13, 2023.)Anton Bergmann (Lier, 29 June 1835 – Lier, 21 January 1874) was a Belgian writer and a liberal Flemish activist. Already during his youth he was fond of Dutch literature, and together with Julius Vuylsteke, he was a member of 't zal wel gaan, a Flemish cultural and liberal organization. After he graduated from humaniora (E: highschool), he went to the University of Ghent, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in literature, law and notary. Afterwards he attended the Vrije Hogeschool van Brussel (E: Free University of Brussels), where he obtained a doctorate in law in 1858. In the meantime he was very active as a writer and as an historian... In 1870, he published two Rijnlandsche novellen, and in 1873, he published his Geschiedenis van Lier (E: History of Lier). These publication were followed by Brigitta, Op St.-Niklaasdag, and Mariette la Bella. His frail health deteriorated while he was working on his magnum opus Ernest Staas, which he published under the pseudonym Tony. Ernest Staas was a success, and also his friend Nicolaas Beets (alias Hildebrand), whom he admired very much, was full of praise for his book. However, soon after its publication, Anton Bergmann died.Photographed By Andrew Ruppenstein, November 1, 20222. Anton Bergmann: Ernest Staas Marker - view
