The Bushman — Life in a New Country

"The Bushman — Life in a New Country" by Edward Wilson Landor is a story about British colonists in Australia and their trials. It follows their difficulties with the landscape, their goals, and colonial society. The book starts by looking at people's reasons to move to new places. Some want adventure, others need to, and some are running from problems. The author then writes about his own trip to Western Australia with his brothers. They are not ready for what is to come, but full of hope as they face the ups and downs of living in colonial times.
