Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.
In 1826 the brig Amity set sail from Sydney to establish a penal settlement at King George's Sound, in what was then unclaimed territory, to prevent a possible French claim. Under the command of Major Lockyer, the settlement of 'Frederick's Town' was proclaimed.
Sweetman provides a detailed list of the personnel, military and convict, who first settled there until it came under the control of the Swan River Colony in 1831. (publisher blurb)
