Description

Blackie. A Story of the old-time Bushmen. 'This is the story of Blackie (Andrew Black) a legendary bushman who worked and fought and drank and gambled his way from Tasmania to Victoria to Otago to the King Country to Northland, and to the Solomon Islands where his bones now lie. It is also the story of his only love, Ettie, whose heart he nearly broke with his mania for grog and gambling. She married someone else, but . . . These two are seen through the eyes of author Ted Ashby, who first met them in the little timber-mil town of Powelltown, Victoria, where he went to work as a young Aucklander in the 1920s.' The dust jacket has light general wear with sun fade down the spine but the book remains brifgt and tight.
