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.
