AbstractHistoryArchive Description

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)
