Paperback thick trade, very good condition, black vinyl binding strips front & rear spine edges (spine open,) black & white photos, family trees, covers little marked, bottom corner tip rear cover bent, light foxing covers, spine & edges, minor edgewear. 136 pp. This story has been put together over a number of years. The first part deals with the Watsons and the Smalls, the second with the Rogers family. The author has also attempted to illustrate the life and events of the Sydney of those times.
