Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notable South Australians: Or, Colonists Past and Present It is generally admitted that prefaces to books are now out of place, and recognized this, the author does not intend to inflict on his patrons lengthy or superfluous remarks. The title of the work indicates its objects, and preliminaries are therefore dispensed with. One by one the pioneers of South Australia pass away, and a few years hence there will be none remaining. Surely, then, some record of those who in their lives were instrumental in forwarding the interests of this Colony is commendable! As the biographies herein reached the author at irregular intervals, it was found impossible to attempt any alphabetical classification, and an index has been inserted to supply this defect. The author is indebted for much information to Messrs. Hiram and Henry Mildred, B. T. Finniss, J. Holden, S. Skipper, A. G. Burt, F. S. Driffield, J. Allen, and other authorities on matters relative to the early days. He also tenders his thanks to the proprietors of the "S. A. Register" and "Advertiser" who courteously gave him access to their files, thus enabling him to obtain correct data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Founding of South Australia takes a historic look at the times when Australia was founded, written by an army Colonel. Excerpt: "In the year 1829, when Robert Gouger commenced the real labour of his life, the position of the working classes of this country was only just becoming capable of definition. Many of the vexatious laws under which they had formerly groaned were being relaxed, and the reproach that the "common people" were merely a part of the machinery of the country was being gradually taken away."
Download or read book A History of South Australia written by Paul Sendziuk and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of South Australia investigates South Australia's history from before the arrival of the first European maritime explorers to the present day, and examines its distinctive origins as a 'free' settlement. In this compelling and nuanced history, Paul Sendziuk and Robert Foster consider the imprint of people on the land - and vice versa - and offer fresh insights into relations between Indigenous people and the European colonisers. They chart South Australia's economic, political and social development, including the advance and retreat of an interventionist government, the establishment of the state's distinctive socio-political formations, and its relationship to the rest of Australia and the world. The first comprehensive, single-volume history of the state to be published in over fifty years, A History of South Australia is an essential and engaging contribution to our understanding of South Australia's past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Descriptive Account of South Australia: Founded on the Experience of a Three Years' Residence in That Colony In presenting the following pages to the Public, the writer has only one object in view, and that is to place the British Public, and especially that portion of it which takes an interest in Emigration in general, and South Australian Emigration in particular, as well as such as may entertain an intention of emigrating, in possession of a plain unvarnished statement of facts, as to the character and capabilities of a Colony which has never been fairly represented in this country - a Colony which has been slandered by enemies interested elsewhere on the one hand, and perhaps as much injured by the well-meant but injudicious statements of its friends on the other - a Colony which has had to grapple with difficulties and anomalies of no ordinary kind - a Colony which, I feel convinced, must ere long rank high among the Foreign possessions of this vast empire.

Download or read book Irish South Australia written by Susan Arthure and published by Wakefield Press. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Its capital is named after German-born Queen Adelaide, its main street after her English husband, King William IV, so it is not surprising that little is known about South Australia's Irish background. However, the first European to discover Adelaide's River Torrens in 1836 was Cork-born and educated George Kingston, who was deputy surveyor to Colonel Light; the river was named in turn for Derryman Colonel Torrens, Chairman of the South Australian Colonisation Commission. Adelaide's first judge and first police commissioner were immigrants from Kerry and Limerick. Irish South Australia charts Irish settlement from as far north as Pekina, to the state's south-east and Mount Gambier. It follows the diverse fortunes of the Irish-born elite such as George Kingston and Charles Harvey Bagot, as well as doctors, farmers, lawyers, orphans, parliamentarians, pastoralists and publicans who made South Australia their home, with various shades of political and religious beliefs: Anglicans, Catholics, Dissenters, Federationalists, Freemasons, Home Rulers, nationalists, and Orangemen. Irish markers can be found in South Australian archaeology, architecture, geography and history. Some of these are visible in the hundreds of Irish place names that dot the South Australian landscape, such as Clare, Donnybrook, Dublin, Kilkenny, Navan, Rostrevor, Tipperary, and Tralee (as Tarlee). The book's editors are twentieth-century Irish immigrants from Dublin (Dymphna Lonergan), Portadown (Fidelma Breen), Trim (Susan Arthure), and by descent from eight Irish-born (Stephanie James).
