History of Australian Land Settlement, 1788-1920First published in 1969. The original History of Australian Land Settlement, 1788-1920 was published in Melbourne in 1924, when the writer was a young lecturer in British History in the University of Melbourne. As the years and decades went by, more and more work was done to fill in research gaps and there were of necessity many re interpretations. This particularly applied to the initial squatting period and to the then-unknown stage between the gold discoveries and federation. This is a copy of the original version. |
