AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Phil Aitchison’s life story has the potential to appeal to the broader community. Australians like to read about “battlers.” How he has overcome adversity and lived a fulfilling life is a fascinating story.'

'Phil has seen a lot and had many different experiences. From being kidnapped and taken to another country as a 2 year old to being a runaway ward of the State. To finally discovering his mother’s family some 85 years later. It is similar to the Aboriginal ‘stolen generation.’'

'This story will interest many - the people of the Pilbara, pastoralists, those interested in Australian history and the evolution of mining, and other readers state wide. It is also of great Aboriginal interest.' (Source: The Chart & Map Shop website)
