- Summary:
-
During the 1840s, in the fledgling settlement of Port Phillip, a rumour arose that a white woman was being held captive by Aborigines in the Gipps Land bush. This book explores contemporary concerns about Australian identity and black-white relationships, and provides a valuable case study of "settler society".
