"The true story of the greatest pastoral landholder in modern history"-- Cover.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
As a barely literate youth of 13, Sidney Kidman ran away from home and worked as an odd-job boy in a grog shanty in outback Australia. He went on to become the greatest pastoral landholder in modern history. During his lifetime he acquired a legendary reputation both at home and abroad. Yet fifty years after his death he has been largely forgotten by all but rural Australians.
