Gold! Hidden Stories of Australia's Past, Book 5

 

Gold discoveries in Australia created an unprecedented population explosion and with it came crime and lawlessness.


In Blood Gold Marji Hill, author of more than 70 publications, tells:


⢠  About law and order on the goldfields.    

⢠  How gold was a target for theft.

⢠  How the Native Police were used to enforce law and order.

⢠  How with the expanding frontier the Native Police were used to "disperse" First Nations people from their lands to make way for colonisation.

⢠  How the Native Police were a symbol of white colonial attitudes towards First Nations people.

⢠  About Australia's first Chinese bushranger, and

⢠  Stories of some female bushrangers.


If you relish the uncovering of hidden stories, iconic episodes or truth-telling to do with Australia's past, then this beautifully illustrated book and the others in the series are for you.
