1 The Last Days of King Charlie : An Aboriginal Relic C. F. H. , 1890 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , November vol. 26 no. 306 1890; (p. 126-128) Evocative description of the old age and eventual death in the Central Australian bush of King Charlie, cast off at last from his tribe and cared for by whites and his dogs. The old man's character and the affection in which he was held are prominent, as are loving descriptions of the bush. Still dismissive of Aboriginal ways and their prospects of long-term survival, and promoting white point of view, but humanely compassionate too. (PB)
