Gould Genealogy and History

Previously overshadowed in the public imagination by notions of American cowboys and the wild west, this book gives Australian stockmen the place they so richly deserve in pastoral and Australian history. From the lonely months on a long cattle drive to the boots they wore and the places they lived in, this comprehensive work provides a fascinating insight into a unique way of life.The lives and daily routines of Australian cattlemen often involved more danger and more intrigue than those of their American counterparts.

First released in 2000, this title has now been reprinted, and is available for all to reading about this fascinating way of life.
