A. W. Howitt's classic two-volume study, first published in 1904,
investigates the organisation, practices and customs of the
indigenous peoples he encountered during his forty years exploring
Australia. He describes how he made 'close and friendly contact'
with tribes who were, in his words, in a condition of 'complete
savagery'. Howitt achieved considerable status among the
Aborigines, and was even permitted to witness some of their sacred
ceremonies. Focusing particularly on the social organisation of the
tribes, their kinship systems and marriage rules, his book is a
captivating account of a now-vanished civilisation.
