George WIlliam Evans Explorer, by A.K.Weatherburn

“The name of George WIlliam Evans, discoverer of the Macquarie and Lachlan rivers, has not held the place in Australian history that it deserves..  Evan’s career as an explorer and surveyor was a notable, if checkered, one. From a job as a storekeeper of grain at Parramatta, on his arrival in New South Wales in 1802, he quickly rose to important survey positions, finally replacing Surveyor-General Charles Grimes during Grime’s absence on leave.” This 15.5 x 24.5  hardcover biography w ith intact dust jacket was published by Angus and Robertson in 1966, 138 pages with black & white photos and maps. Apart from some library stamps the book is in excellent condition.
