Western Pioneers: The Battle Well Fought by J E Hammond

Jesse Hammond was a Western Australian pioneer and author. He was appointed “Protector of Natives” for WA in 1938. He had a comprehensive knowledge of early Perth, which was demonstrated through his hand-drawn maps of Perth in the 1870s. His books, Winjan’s People and Western Pioneers, made important contributions to the history of early Western Australia and provided insight into the lives of the Aboriginal people of Western Australia.
