South Australia's early governors
4
Posted by Jenny Cooper on 2nd Feb 2017

This set of books covers South Australia’s early governors and what they achieved in the newly settled colony of South Australia. It further covers biographical information of people who helped with the foundations of settlement in the new colony. The books cover the early ministers of religion as well as political workers and civil servants. It is a good background to some of the early problems of the settlement and how they were over come, like Governor Gawler using his own money to give employment on government projects.

The people mentioned helped to establish and develop the new colony. For Family historians it covers the reasons various hundreds were named and further informational biographies if they have any connections to these early founders.
