Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. "The story of one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, yet one surrounded by an aura of romance which never fails to excite the imaginations and spirit of adventure within everyone. This book covers the whole history of the pearling industry in and around Australia from the nineteenth century beginnings in Torres Strait to the boom days at Broome, known in those fairytale years as the Queen City of the North. Particular attention has been paid to the involvement of Japanese workers and investors in the industry and attempts by the Japanese government of the day to negotiate fair treatment for their nations. .Wealthy pearlers and their socialite wives importing gowns from London and Paris, Oriental nightclubs and sweetly twittering Asiatic beauties, behind-the-scenes financial manouvres, turbanned Sikhs, visits from European buyers and the harbour skyline permanently pierced by the masts of a myriad of luggers and junks - Broom was indeed a world apart from the rest of Australia. Two global wars destroyed that world, and the industry, but the whole colourful period is recreated for us in this detailed and thoroughly researched book." --- Original grey papered boards, lettered gilt on spine (16 x 24 cm). Illustrated dustwrapper, now protected. Pp. 380 including Abbreviations, Explanatory Note, Introduction and Acknowledgements, Foreword, Epilogue, Bibliography: A: Manuscript Sources, B: Printed Material, Index.

Hardcover in Dustjacket. Condición: Edgeworn dustjacket. WEST AUSTRALIANAHistory of the 'Victoria' District north of Perth WA. Includes accounts of early contacts and conflict between Aborigines and explorers and settlers.The Victoria District (Irwin Greenough district)was the first British settlement outside the triangle of Perth, York and Albany, the first area where gold and coal were found in the colony; the first place for cotton to be planted and the first railway was built. This book includes accounts of early contacts and conflict between Aborigines and explorers and settlers. Within a few years, favourable seasons and natural grass made the district the "granary of the colony", and the original settlers wealthy men. While ticket-of-leave me worked in the lead mines, on the stations and farms, the wealthy settlers fought for independence from a distant legislature, and women of all classes battled all the difficulties of isolation'"Sister Mary Albertus has brought to her study of the district not only a proven aptitude for thorough research but also a warm and sympathetic appreciation of the human qualities involved in opening up a district under pioneer conditions."First Edition. xv, 431 p., 8 leaves of plates ; 25 cm. , endpp. maps.
