John Batman, the Founder of Victoria by James Bonwick is about the founder of the city of Victoria as he navigates sharing resources with native Australian tribes. Excerpt: "It is now twenty-one years since the first edition of my Australian Geography appeared; and I hope before long to bring out, for the Australian Youth, my story of the Last of the Tasmanians, upon which I have been occupied many years. To my fellow colonists, I am grateful for the encouragement."
