Book Description 1st ed. Hardback large octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white text-photos, frontispiece, edges lightly foxed, minor edgewear jacket. 219 pp. Leonard Bickel explores the early life of pioneer Elizabeth Macarthur in a pretty Devon vicarage, the hardships she endured aboard the sailing ship Neptune enroute to Sydney. Then her arrival in Australia in 1790, and her role in running Elizabeth Farm and her husband John's other pastoral properties during his time in England in 1801, and again after his involvement in the Rum Rebellion between 1809 and 1817. The centre of her life was her husband and her children, but she became an astute businesswoman. This story of her long and remarkable life is based on a wealth of letters, documents and accounts. He pays tribute to her hard work, fortitude and integrity, and provides the reader with an insight on many aspects of Australian colonial life. Seller Inventory # 30907
