Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Fading to spine. Interior and binding are still very good.
Stannage's social history of Perth describes the experiences of several generations of migrant settlers in the Swan River Colony from 1829 onwards. It shows the people of all classes at work and play, buying and selling, praying, going out to school, raising families, founding institutions, making laws, and engaging in municipal and colonial politics. (inside cover)
The book, when published, was controversial. Some Perth City Councillors and older Perth families were offended.
