A Final Reckoning

A Tale of Bush Life in Australia

A historical adventure set in early 19th-century Australia during the era of British colonization and frontier conflict. The story follows Reuben Whitney, a courageous and resourceful young Englishman who emigrates to Australia after being falsely accused of a crime. There, he builds a new life as a settler and becomes involved in the struggle between settlers and bushrangers—outlaws who terrorize the colony.

First published in 1887, this edition is derived from the oroginal book with 8 black & white illustrations by W. B. Wollen. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
