Download or read book One Skin for an Overlander written by Robert Denis Whittle and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel is a captivating story of the early conquest and settlement of Australia. The main characters are a pioneering family and an Aboriginal tribe that meet in tense and often brutal circumstances. The story graphically shows the differences and misunderstandings when the new world meets the old. Conflict is never far away from the reader as the story twists and turns among the stark and beautiful backdrop of the Australian bush. The native Australians, known as Aborigines, with their 40,000 years of culture and diversity help to paint a detailed picture of early life in pre-white man days in Australia. The story takes an unusual turn when 7 white men are hanged for killing Aborigines, an almost unheard of event in the 19th century, in a brutal colonial world.

Download or read book Overland to Starvation Cove written by Heinrich Klutschak and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1987-12-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1845 Sir John Franklin sailed westward from England in search of the Northwest Passage and was never seen again. Some thirty-five years later, Heinrich Klutschak of Prague, artist and surveyor on a small expedition led by Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka of the 3rd US Cavalry Regiment, stumbled upon the grisly remains at Starvation Cove of the last survivors among Franklin's men. Overland to Starvation Cove is the first English translation of Klutschak's account. A significant contribution to Canadian exploration history, it is also an important anthropological document, providing some of the earliest reliable descriptions of the Aivilingmiut, the Utkuhikhalingmiut, and the Netsilingmiut. But above all, it is a fascinating story of arctic adventure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed account of the journey from Trebizond to Quetta. The route took Hedin through Erzerum, skirted Mount Ararat to Etchmiadzin and Nakichevan (the grave of Noah), and thence by Tabriz and Kasvin to Teheran, where the first part of his journey ended. The second part took him to Nasratabad in Seistan; the third to Quetta, where he may be said to have reached India . . . . The two volumes in which it is recorded contain a vast deal more than is above indicated. There are many digressions (from the bare record of travel) , some of which will not appeal to the general reader, whose interest is chiefly confined to the tale of travel, but many of them will command the attention of geographers and experts . . . . To mention a few, there are notes about Marco Polo's travels, about the Euphrates, Mesopotamia and Nineveh, chapters on travels in the Kavír, on the march of Alexander the Great, on post-glacial climatic changes in Persia, on the distribution of desert and on the plague. This is volume two out of two.
