Book Description
Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still very good.
On the 1st December 1876, the SS Georgette, badly damaged and carrying 50 crew and passengers, was wrecked in heavy surf between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Hamelin.
According to popular accounts, two courageous riders, Grace Buswell and an Aboriginal stockman Sam Issacs plunged their horses into the ocean repeatedly to carry the terrified survivors to safety.
This novel questions this legend, and unsung heroes are finally given their due.
