Having arrived with his parents from Ireland in New South Wales in
1840 as a 'bounty emigrant', the young Roderick Flanagan (1828-62)
quickly developed a passionate interest in his adopted country.
Following an apprenticeship with a city printer, the educated and
astute Flanagan worked for a number of Australia's early
newspapers, including Melbourne's Daily News and the Sydney Morning
Herald, where he acquired his distinctive, journalistic approach to
history. Published shortly after his early death in London in 1862,
Flanagan's two-volume chronicle of New South Wales represents a
lifetime of research, and demonstrates the author's balanced and
unpartisan approach to politics. Opening with Cook's voyage of
1770, early expeditions inland, and initial encounters with
aboriginal peoples, Volume 1 covers the first sixty-eight years of
European immigration, and the various political, criminal and
military skirmishes that shaped the new colony.
