Excerpt from The Kidnapped Squatter: And Other Australian TalesWith this money in his pocket, and double its value in experience stowed away somewhere, he determined to begin the world anew. He chose the colony in which our scene is laid as the most likely place in which to better his prospects, and here he arrived in the year 1840. He leased a small station, stocked it with sheep and cattle, throve apace, and at the period when our tale begins was one of the most extensive squatters in the country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
