Publisher's Synopsis

The Land Of The Dawning: Being Facts Gleaned From Cannibals In The Australian Stone Age is a book written by William Hughes Willshire and published in 1896. The book is a first-hand account of the author's experiences while living among the indigenous people of Australia during the Stone Age. Willshire spent several years studying the culture, customs, and beliefs of these people, including their practice of cannibalism. He provides a detailed description of their way of life, their social structure, and their religious beliefs. The book also includes illustrations and photographs of the people and their surroundings. The Land Of The Dawning is an important historical document that offers a unique perspective on the indigenous people of Australia during a time when their way of life was rapidly changing due to colonization and modernization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
