Outback Heroes by Patsy Adam-Smith

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges, particularly at spine tail. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good.

The heroes of the outback come in all guises - bushwomen and children, drovers, missionaries, rogues, miners, navvies, stockmen, trackers, mailmen, postmistresses, teachers and seamen.

Patsy Adam-Smith has learned the stories of some of these outback heroes in her own encounters with them, through newspapers and journals and some from the writings of outback chroniclers like Henry Lawson, Mary Gilmore and Mrs Aeneas Gunn. (book flap)

Richly illustrated large book.
