Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners, now reinforced with book tape. Beginning of foxing to top foredge. Interior and binding are very good.

Italian migration to Western Australia began very early in the history of the Colony. A combination of social, economic and political events in Italy and Australia gave a decisive impulse to the Italian participants in the gold rush - preceded only a few years earlier by a small but steady trickle of Italian fishermen.

This book combines the story of individual pioneers with a detailed account of Italian settlement, as shown by the statistics available. (Preface)
