By Edward B. Kennedy

Book Overview

Four Years in Queensland is a book written by Edward B. Kennedy in 1870. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences during his four-year stay in Queensland, Australia. Kennedy was a government surveyor who was sent to Queensland in 1856 to help map out the state. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of his life in Queensland, including his work as a surveyor, his observations on the natural environment and wildlife, and his interactions with the local Indigenous people. Kennedy also writes about the social and political climate of Queensland during his time there, including the impact of gold rushes and the struggles of early settlers. The book provides a unique perspective on life in Queensland during the mid-19th century and is a valuable historical document for those interested in Australian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
