- Summary:
-
In the early days of the colonisation of South Australia, Port Lincoln and the western districts of the State were the scenes of violent conflict between the Aboriginal and white settler populations. To maintain order, a small contingent of police were stationed in the region. Among these was Police Trooper James William Geharty, who became one of the very few who witnessed and participated in the many skirmishes which occurred at that time. This book shares his story.
