Oxley (1873) is a historical novel written by Lyndon, which is set in the early days of Australia's colonization. The story focuses on John Oxley, a famous explorer who played a significant role in the exploration and mapping of Australia's interior regions. The novel is divided into three parts, each depicting a different phase of Oxley's life. The first part portrays Oxley's early years as a young man, his passion for exploration, and his appointment as a surveyor in the New South Wales Corps. The second part describes Oxley's expeditions to the interior of Australia, his encounters with the indigenous people, and his struggles to survive in the harsh and unforgiving terrain. The third part of the novel focuses on Oxley's final years, his retirement from exploration, and his involvement in the establishment of the new colony of Brisbane. The novel also explores Oxley's personal life, including his relationships with his wife, children, and colleagues. Lyndon's writing style is evocative and vivid, bringing to life the harsh realities of life in colonial Australia. The novel is meticulously researched, and the historical details are accurate and authentic. Overall, Oxley (1873) is a compelling and insightful portrayal of one of Australia's most influential explorers, and a fascinating insight into the early days of Australia's colonization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
