Sons In The Saddle
A sweeping saga of pioneer Australia which began with "Kings in Grass Castles". Taken from the diaries, letters and legal documents, this is the story of Michael Durack, Mary Durack's father, and his vigorous generation.
Mary Durack's Kings in Grass Castles is an Australian classic. Since it was published in 1959, it has continued to sell as new generations of readers discover the pastoralist saga of the Durack family and their cattle spreads across the continent. Now, nearly 25 years later, we have the sequel we have been waiting for...
The second generation of Durack men were not only hardy pioneers, used to droving cattle thousands of miles through the grandeur of north-west Australia, they were also educated, travelled men, at home in the worlds of commerce and politics. This story, taken from diaries, letters, and legal documents, is the story of Michael Durack, Mary Durack's father, and his vigorous generation.
When the third book in this family saga appears, we will have one of the most illuminating series of books ever written on Australian life.
