VERY STRANGE TALES: The Turbulent Times of Samuel Marsden

Wannan, Bill

Published by Landsdowne Press Melbourne Australia (1962), first edition.

For a man of the cloth, the Reverend Samuel Marsden kept some colourful company during the formative years of the settlement of New South Wales. His admirers likened him to a saint and an angel, while his critics called him the 'Flogging Parson'. He was a moneylender, magistrate, gun trader, pious missionary, farmer and political reactionary.

Hardback in dust jacket. Good condition, with a slight chip to the dust jacket and some soiling. Notes, appendix, bibliography, 223 pages.
