- Summary:
-
A new historical novel challenges traditional accounts of a daring horseback rescue that unfolded near Margaret River, Western Australia, in 1876. It has long been held that 16-year-old Grace Bussell and Aboriginal stockman Samuel Isaacs rode their horses into treacherous surf to deliver fifty souls from the stranded Georgette. The incident made heroes of them both. The book reveals long held inaccuracies about the role of Grace Bussell in the rescue of passengers and exposes some unsung heroes.
