Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to foredges and half-title page. Previous owner has signed inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker.

This collection of stories brings vividly to life the WA goldfields boom and depression years, from determined old fossickers battling for survival to the days of large-scale and well-organised mining companies. The physical landscape of minds is ever-present, but more important are the diverse characters who wheedle or cluster their way about them. (back cover)
