About This Item
Carlton South, Victoria, Australia: Melbourne University Press, 1997. For the original inhabitants of Australia, the coming of Europeans was a disaster; this book explores one aspect of this disaster by tracing the relations, both ambiguous and contradictory, between Thomas Mitchell, the Surveyor General of New South Wales, and the Aborigines he encountered while surveying in the settled areas of the colony and on four journeys of exploration; includes maps and illustrations (yellow pictorial cover has slight edge wear & spine creases; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy; in stock & available for immediate shipment from a reliable independent bookstore). Trade Paperback. Very Good.
