David Walker is a distinguished Australian social historian whose eyesight suddenly deteriorated at the end of 2004 due to macular degeneration. His blindness led him to reconsider his own relationship to the past and his family's history, which his family had made no attempt to record. The result was this memoir, which traces his progenitors from their settlement in the mid-north of South Australia, just south of the Goyder Line, in the late nineteenth century.
