Publisher Description
In the 19th century Australia went from struggling penal colony to a thriving community with a bright future.
George Matcham Pitt's life spanned the greater part of this century. A larger than life character and a master of rhetoric, fond of quoting from classic poets, opinionated and generous to a fault, GM, as he was known, went from humble farmer to landowner, auctioneer and the founder of one of Australia's first and best-known stock and station agents Pitt, Son & Badgery.
This remarkable story is told by his great great granddaughter.
