Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to top foredge. Small mark on title page. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine.

The second volume of Michael Cannon's saga on Australia in the Victorian age concentrates on the pastoral experience and the nature of the Australian rural dream. It combines comprehensive coverage of the economic process with vivid descriptions of the emotions and ambitions, the sweat and toil of human participants who carried it out.

Cannon explores how squatters, Australian Aboriginals, selectors, shearers and town dwellers battled for possession of the land's riches. He demolishes the myth of a golden age of rural life, showing how each group of settlers was compelled to fight both an obstinate environment and fellow man for survival.
