First edition. An octavo-size paperback original. Some light soiling, page wrinkling on the prelims, otherwise good. A fascinating story, told mostly factually (with some fiction interludes) of a incredible horse who survived a lifetime in the harsh centre of Australia, abandoned by the ill-fated Charles Stuart expedition in 1845, and discovered 16 years later by Alfred Howitt when he dashed inland to Cooper's Creek to attempt a rescue of Burke and Wills, finding that expedition's lone survivor, John King, and the roan.
