- Summary:
-
"[The book] covers the people and places along the Paterson and Allyn Rivers between Vacy and Gresford. The book reveals how a whole new European Society emerged along the two rivers from the 1820s, albeit at the expense of the dispossession of Aboriginal people. The book provides information on the land owners convicts, emancipists, free immigrants and colonial born who worked on the estates or leased parts of them as tenant farmers. This includes the wave of German immigrants in the 1840s and 1850s. It shows how the subdivision of many of the large estates from the late 1800s replaced a mosaic of tenanted farms with a patchwork of small, privately owned farms, many of which became dairy farms. The book also explains the history of the villages of Vacy, Gresford and East Gresford. 190 pages including many maps and images, a detailed index and list of references."--Publisher.
