Blood and Gold: Hungarians in Australia by Egon F Kunz

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Sunning to foredges and front and back endpages. Dust jacket has some minor creasing at top and tail edges. Small tear to the back cover. Now enclosed in protective cover. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Blood and Gold traces the history of Hungarian emigration to Australia back to the early 1830s, when the first Hungarian immigrant, a secondhand dealer from Pest, arrived in New South Wales.

Kunz's research draws on many primary sources, such as letters, to provide a vivid contemporary picture of life on the eastern goldfields for new migrants.

The various waves of migration are explored, including the post-WWII migration of more than 38,000 Hungarian people.
