The Life and Adventures of William Buckley is a book written by John Morgan in 1852. It tells the story of William Buckley, a convict who escaped from the British settlement in Australia in 1803 and spent the next 32 years living with the indigenous people of the area around Port Phillip. The book details Buckley's experiences living amongst the Aboriginal people, including his struggles to adapt to their way of life and his eventual acceptance as a member of their community. It also describes his encounters with European explorers and settlers who arrived in the area during his time there.Morgan's account of Buckley's life is based on interviews with the man himself, as well as other sources, and provides a fascinating insight into the early history of Australia and the interactions between its indigenous people and European settlers. The book is considered a classic of Australian literature and a valuable historical document.Now The Province Of Victoria.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
