The Colonial Australians
By David Denholm
Published by Allen Lane/A Division Of Penguin Books 1979 First Edition - Signed By The Author & Numbered 173/750

"David Denholm (1924 - 1997) was an Australian author and historian who published fiction under the pseudonym David Forrest, and history under his own name. He is perhaps best known for his book on Australian history, The Colonial Australians . John Hirst, writing in The Monthly in 2006, placed it on his brief list of the best Australian history books of all-time. Elsewhere, Hirst describes The Colonial Australians as an "underrated" work that "explores... the nature of colonial society by examining its physical remains," and Denholm as the historian who "best understands" the sense in which that the culture of a colony is as old as the culture of the mother country."
