Land Musters, Stock Returns and Lists by Irene Schaffer is a hardcover 1991 Australian history classic that mines colonial-era archives to reveal how early settlers tracked people, livestock and property. Illustrated with rare charts and sketches, the book pairs meticulous research with an accessible narrative for history buffs and cultural-studies readers alike.
This dust-jacketed copy from St David’s Park Publishing remains crisp and unmarked, its pages clean after three decades on a smoke-free shelf. The sturdy binding and vibrant illustrations make it as pleasant to browse as it is informative.
Ideal for collectors of Australian true stories or genealogists tracing rural ancestors, Schaffer’s work turns dry colonial ledgers into living history. Secure this handsome edition to enrich your Australiana library without breaking the budget.
