The Victorians: Making Their Mark by Susan Priestley

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to top and right foredges. Laminate has split from top left back cover, now reinforced with book tape. Interior and binding are still very good.

This book gives an account of the changing look of Victoria since European settlement, although the impact made by Aboriginal people before contact with Europeans is covered briefly.

The author traces the historical scene in which Melbourne, its suburbs, country towns, roads, railways, reservoirs, farms, holiday places and other elements of the Victorian landscape have evolved.

Making Their Mark is the third volume in the three-part official history to commemorate 150 years of settlement in Victoria.
