Description:The history of Australia from 1788 to 1850 covers the early colonial period of Australia's history, from the arrival in 1788 of the First Fleet of British ships at Sydney, New South Wales, who established the penal colony, the scientific exploration of the continent and later, the establishment of other Australian colonies. European colonization created a new dominant society in Australia in place of the pre-existing population of Aboriginal Australians.The previously untold true story of two men whose vision changed the course of Australia's history.In 1824 two men sailed from England to Hobart Town in Tasmania to build a sawmill. Ten years later they had built two mills, Australia's oldest brewery, Australia's oldest theatre, facilitated the writing of Australia's first novel, made the first 3D representation of a kangaroo on the first Tasmanian silver coin, and initiated Tasmania's greatest lost treasure legend.One of these men was Major Hugh Macintosh, an ex-officer of the British East India Company, a veteran and hero of some of India's bloodiest battles, the Siege of Seringapatam, the Battle of Assaye, and the Siege of Gwalior Fort. A real-life version of Bernard Cornwell's famous Sharpe character, Macintosh saved the Duke of Wellington twice, once at Seringpatam and again at Assaye. After India Macintosh went to Persia as a military advisor to the Shah; there he became a close friend and advisor of the Crown Prince of Persia Abbas Mirza and fought alongside him in many battles before his wounds forced him to return to England.The other man was Macintosh's brother-in-law Peter Degraves, an ambitious businessman, brilliant engineer, inventor, architect, mathematician, and conman. He was a bully, a bankrupt burglar, prolific liar, and by 1850 one of Australia's richest, most ruthless, men.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
