Book Description
Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to foredges and preliminary pages. Body text and binding are still very good.
The book focuses on the prominent pastoral families of South Australiaâs Mid North (Central Hill Country) during the colonial and post-colonial eras, examining how these families established a distinct social class and lifestyle through land ownership and agricultural success.
It focuses on 36 freehold pastoral estates (about 40-140 miles north of Adelaide) and details how these large estates were built up and how, in time, their owners began to feel that they were different to their contemporaries.
It contains maps, photographs, and family trees to document the genealogy and influence of these families.
