Book excerpt: Autobiography of Dexter Ronald Kruger, the oldest man to ever live in Australia. Born on 13th January 1910, my life has spanned what is probably the most interesting period in the history of the world; from 'man' and 'horse' power, to all this modern technology where little man-power is needed. I have had an extraordinarily long working life, although I was never a very strong person. My claim is that, with the physical strength of half a man, I have done the work of a man and a half. I have maintained reasonably good health and now, at the age of 111 years and 124 days, I am the oldest person in Australia, the oldest man to have ever lived in Australia, and number seven in the list of the world's oldest living men. I hope what I have written will give the reader some indication of what my life was like on the land. I was determined to succeed in the industry of my choice and I think I can claim a great measure of success, and always doing what I enjoyed doing in the process.
Download or read book Paper Trails written by Pete Dexter and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970s and '80s, before he earned national acclaim for his award-winning novels, Pete Dexter was a newspaper columnist. Every week, in a few hundred words, Dexter cut directly to the heart of the American character at a time of national turmoil and crucial change. With haunting urgency, his columns laid bare the violence, hypocrisy, and desperation he saw on the streets of Philadelphia and in the places he visited across the country. But he reveled, too, in the lighter side of his own life, sharing scenes with the indefatigable Mrs. Dexter, their young daughter, and a series of unforgettable creatures who strayed into their lives. No matter what caught Dexter's eye, it was illuminated by his dark, brilliant humor. Collected here are eighty-two of the best of those spellbinding, finely wrought pieces—with a new preface by the author—assembled by Rob Fleder, editor of the bestselling Sports Illustrated 50th Anniversary Book. Paper Trails is searing, heartbreaking, and irresistibly funny, sometimes all at once. As Pete Hamill says in his foreword, these essays "are as good as it ever gets."

My life has spanned what is probably the most interesting period in the history of the world. I have seen drought, fire, flood, two World Wars, the Great Depression, the Spanish Flu and Covid-19; as well as the great influx of migrants, mainly from Italy and Greece, which changed the Australian demographic from "white Australia" to a multicultural society. During my lifespan, the Australian population has increased from just over 4 million in 1910 to over 25 million today in 2021. I have had my cattle herds decimated with the diseases brucellosis, tuberculosis, plural pneumonia, tick fever and the great eradication program that would eradicate those for diseases from Australia. I have also seen numerous very low prices for my produce. Through all these vicissitudes, I have prospered - why? Well, whether the weather was wet, or whether the weather was dry, I have weathered the weather, whatever the weather, whether it was wet or dry.
