Cattleman by R S Porteous

Book Description

Secondhand. Fair to good condition. Book has general wear to book corners and edges. Book is intact and binding is still very good. Pages are sunned and foredges foxed. Dust jacket is in poor condition with significant tearing. It has, however been covered with a dust jacket protector.

Ben McReady has come up the hard way. From drover's boy to bushwacker, cattle thief, soldier and finally, wealthy beef baron and racehorse owner. But at heart, he was a cattleman, self-made - a raw man in a tough land.

This is a rich, sweeping saga of Australia past and present, redolent with the sweat of long days in the saddle, trail dust, cattle and fear. A superb, rugged tale that demands to be read at a sitting. (Source: Outbackbooks)
