About This Item
Canberra, Woden: Popinjay Australian Publications, 1988. Hardback large quarto, no jacket, very good plus condition, green cloth cover (gilt lettering), sepia (brown-tinted) photos including frontispiece, black & cream drawing. 68 pp. This story of a drover named Peter Clark who was shot by Wilson the bushranger when he resisted a holdup, north of Scone (NSW) in the 1860s. The author, John Meredith, sets out - not to try and discover the true story - but rather to document the processes of the oral tradition - to bring together all the various accounts under one cover. Whatever the truth may be, this collection of legends will stand as a tribute to the bravery and courage of a young bushman who died game and was gallant to the end. (No 6 in the Australian Historical Monograph series, from Popinjay Australian Publications. Limited edition of 210 copies, 95 of which are numbered and autographed by the publisher, Stephan Williams. This is no 26. ISBN not printed in book.).
