Chasing the Weight 1886-1912 by F Cammilleri

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to foredges and title page. Body text and binding are still very good.

Chasing the Weight first appeared in The Western Mail in 1937. This reprint includes biographical notes provided by Fredrick's daughter. Cammilleri's reminiscences offer insight into the development of the gold mining industry in Western Australia, from the first gold rush in 1886 to the Kimberley, then the North West, Murchison, and East Goldfields, and finally the South West mineral fields.
