In Bad Company, and other stories by Rolf Boldrewood
"In Bad Company, and other stories" by Rolf Boldrewood is a collection published in 1901. This volume gathers thirty-five stories and six non-fiction essays exploring Australia's frontier life. From bushrangers and drovers to gold miners and stock-riders, Boldrewood captures the raw, romantic episodes of early colonial existence. Many pieces appear in print for the first time, including autobiographical sketches that reveal the author's intimate knowledge of the Australian bush and its colorful
characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
