'Biography of Willshire which attempts to counteract the emphasis on Willshire's charge of murder rather than the honourable acquittal he received; presents Willshire's police service record (1879-1908) and emphasises his contribution to Australian anthropology via his four books; emphasises Willshire's pleas to government for assistance in improving Aboriginal welfare.'
