The Long Farewell (R/I) - Tapa blanda

The Long Farewell : The Perilous Voyages of Settlers Under Sail in the Great Migration to Australia.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 3rd Edition. During the nineteenth century more tahn a million people, many of whom had never ventured beyond their homes in Britain, sailed to the new colonies of Australia. On their month-long journey the emigrants lived in a state of limbo - isolated, belonging neither to the old world nor to the new, and living in fear of icebergs, fever and storm. The author has sifted through records, letters, copious illustrations and more than 100 immigrants' shipboard diaries to bring that experience to vivid, salty and fascinating life. **There is a private inscription inside the frontispiece.**.
