Table of Contents

It is with the full consent of the bush-folk that this one year of their lives—the year of 1902—is given to the world.

“Tell ’em anything you like,” they said, one and all, unconsciously testifying to their single-heartedness. And in the telling I have striven to give that year as I found it.

At every turn the bush-folk have helped me; verifying statements and furnishing details required with minute exactness; while I am indebted to Mr. W. Holtze, Mr. G. G. Jaensch, “Mine Host,” and the Quiet Stockman for the photographic plates with which this book is illustrated.

Jeannie Gunn.

Hawthorn,

October 1907.
