The Early Settlers: Australia's Story
Author: Edited by Herbert Strang
Hard cover, good condition. Rare find.
The Early Settlers: Australia's Story, edited by Herbert Strang, is a richly illustrated historical narrative that presents a romanticized and patriotic account of Australia's colonial beginnings. Aimed primarily at young readers, the book compiles tales of exploration, pioneering hardship, and frontier encounters, emphasizing the courage, perseverance, and enterprise of the early British settlers. Through dramatized episodes and accessible prose, it explores the founding of settlements, relations with Indigenous Australians, and the taming of the Australian bush, reflecting the imperial values and attitudes of its early 20th-century publication. While informative and engaging, the book must be read with an awareness of its period biases and colonial perspective.
