Books with title A Final Reckoning: A Tale of Bush Life in Australia

Join Henty's Hero on an adventure in Australia in the early days of its settlement, when the bush-rangers and the natives constituted a real and formidable danger. Reuben, a young English lad, after rather a stormy boyhood, emigrates to Australia, where he gets employment as an officer in the mounted police. Throughout, Reuben displays selflessness and endurance through trial. He encounters a dangerous life on the frontier, and must finally reckon with his past and an old enemy.

In this tale I have left the battlefields of history, and have written astory of adventure in Australia, in the early days when the bushrangers and the natives constituted a real and formidable danger tothe settlers. I have done this, not with the intention of extending yourknowledge, or even of pointing a moral, although the story is notwithout one; but simply for a change—a change both for you andmyself, but frankly, more for myself than for you. You know the oldstory of the boy who bothered his brains with Euclid, until he cameto dream regularly that he was an equilateral triangle enclosed in acircle. Well, I feel that unless I break away sometimes from history, Ishall be haunted day and night by visions of men in armour, andsoldiers of all ages and times.
