About This Item
In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
Queensland's troubles with the natives and her involvement with imported, cheap, labour makes a story that seems to parallel the deep south of the United States.
The story seems un-Australian in its details, but only because most Australians are unaware of the facts.
The Historical Sketch of Queensland has been adapted, as a small-scale facsimile, from the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, which was originally published in 1886 to celebrate those first hundred years of the founding of Australia.
In its present form the Historical Sketch of Queensland provides something more than a mere outline of the development of Queensland up to 1886. The writing style takes us back to that era which few people living today can accurately recall, and the idiom makes us wonder at how we were then. The scores of wonderful etchings reinforce the mood, and at the same time allow us to compare, and to see how things have changed.
