Description

Semi-fictional account of the 1850s emigration adventures of a young Scottish Highlander who quits an impoverished rural croft to seek his fortune on the Victorian goldfields, before settling in New Zealand. Extensively researched, this novel combines real-life with the flavour of Scottish emigration to Downunder - the anguish, the hopes, the dread and the excitement. While essentially a personal tale about an ancestor's journey, it is also a story about the socio-economic context in which George Munro, and tens of thousands like him, are deciding to pull up roots and head for the bottom of the world. Probably forever.

This copy has a dedication to the previous owner from the author on the title page.
