The Odgers Chronicle: The Story of an Australian Gold Mining Family by George Odgers

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are also very good.

The book contains a kaleidoscope of Western Australian history, with stories of life on the goldfields, in outback towns, in the world of commerce, in the armed service, and the views of the courageous women who supported their men in these various adventures.

James Odgers, an experienced Cornish-born mining manager, and his Devon-born wife Mary had sailed to Australia in the 1850s after the news of the gold discoveries had spread to England. (back cover)
