Two Expeditions Into The Interior Of Southern Australia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419191473)

""Two Expeditions Into The Interior Of Southern Australia"" is a book written by Charles Sturt, an explorer who conducted two expeditions into the uncharted interior of southern Australia in the 19th century. In this book, Sturt provides a detailed account of his journeys, including the challenges he faced, the discoveries he made, and the interactions he had with the indigenous people he encountered. The book is divided into two parts, each covering one of Sturt's expeditions. The first expedition was in 1828-1830, and the second was in 1844-1845. Sturt's writing is vivid and descriptive, and he provides a unique perspective on the Australian landscape and its inhabitants. The book is an important historical document, shedding light on the early exploration of Australia and the interactions between Europeans and the indigenous population.Mr. Hume thought they intended an attack, and the horses had taken fright and galloped away. I determined, therefore, to fire at once upon them if they pressed up the bank on which we were posted. Mr. Hume went with me to the crest of it, and we rather angrily beckoned to the foremost of the natives to stop. They mistook our meaning, but laid all their spears in a heap as they came up. We then sat down on the bank and they immediately did the same; nor did they stir until we beckoned to them after the horses had been secured.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
