Representative Men of South Australia

Published in 1883, this is the first of a pair of books containing brief biographies of great South Australian colonialists. Two hundred and sixty-seven biographies of founders and pioneers of South Australia are included in this book. They cover people in several different walks of life and range in length and detail. The book includes information on their early life, their career, their role in South Australia’s development and their families as well as other relevant information. Some biographies are accompanied by portrait drawings.
