1935 Smoke Rings by George Brown Antique Australian History Book 1st Ed

Smoke Rings
By George Brown
Published by Angus & Robertson Limited: Sydney 1935 1st Edition
Scarce Australian History book w/Dustjacket.

" Smoke Rings is a vivid autobiographical and historical narrative by George Brown, offering a firsthand account of life in Australia's north and the South Seas during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Brown, a missionary, trader, and keen observer of frontier societies, records his experiences among Indigenous communities, colonial settlements, and remote island cultures with an immediacy that blends personal memoir, travel writing, and social history. His prose is direct and unembellished, capturing daily life, cultural encounters, and the moral complexities of missionary and colonial activity in regions that were still little known to metropolitan Australia.

Published by Angus & Robertson Limited, Sydney, in 1935, this first edition, issued with its scarce original dustjacket, represents an important Australian perspective on the Pacific world at a time when such accounts were becoming increasingly rare. The book preserves valuable observations on cross-cultural contact, belief systems, and the realities of frontier existence, making it both a documentary record and a compelling narrative of lived experience. This title would particularly appeal to collectors of Australian history, Pacific and missionary studies, readers of early travel and memoir literature, and those interested in firsthand accounts of Australia's regional and cultural connections beyond the mainland.
