Breaker's Mate traces the career of Will H Oligive, a young Scottish writer who lived and worked in Australia during the golden years of Australian literature, the 1890s. Inspired by his experiences as a jackeroo, drover, shearer and horse-breaker, Ogilvie wrote popular ballads and stories that rivalled his contemporaries, Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson.
Merredith's research has also uncovered evidence about Ogilvie's close friend and fellow balladeer, Breaker Morant. (back cover)
