Seven Years in the Australian Bush (1880)

Seven Years in the Australian Bush is a memoir written by James B. Stevenson, originally published in 1880. The book chronicles Stevenson's experiences living in the Australian bush for seven years, from 1862 to 1869. Stevenson, a Scottish immigrant, arrived in Australia as a young man and quickly became enamored with the rugged beauty of the bush. He spent the next seven years exploring the vast wilderness, hunting and trapping animals, and forging close relationships with the indigenous people he encountered. Throughout the book, Stevenson provides vivid descriptions of the flora and fauna of the bush, as well as the challenges and rewards of living off the land. He also offers insights into the culture and customs of the Aboriginal people he encountered, and reflects on the impact of European colonization on their way of life. Seven Years in the Australian Bush is a fascinating and engaging account of one man's journey through the untamed wilderness of Australia. It offers a unique perspective on the country's history and culture, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the natural world, indigenous cultures, or the history of Australia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
