The book is beautifully written. It's full of broad insights and sparks of revelation. It's clearly informed throughout by a sharp ability to listen to Aboriginal points of view, and a deep love of history. one of its many pleasures comes from Jones's deployment of quotes from the frontiers, from both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal speakers, that speak to our concerns 150 odd years later.
Throughout, quotes are treated as something akin to material culture themselves. Misspellings and weird punctuation are left untouched, except for an occasional fairly arbitrary sic. ( )
