The Cattle King [Sir Sydney Kidman] – Ion Idriess – 1942 Edition
Short Description
Published in Sydney by Angus and Robertson in 1942.
Octavo, 277 pages, a very good copy albeit the paper a bit browned because of restrictions on paper manufacture in the War. Inoffensive gift inscription on end papers. A very good dust jacket.
The Biography of Sir Sidney Kidman who started with five shillings and eventually controlled over 100 cattle stations an area half the size of Queensland.
Well illustrated from period photographs and end paper maps showing the extent of the Kidman interests at the front and stations, stock routes, coach routes and railways referred to in the text ... at the rear.
Good reading & photographs ... a cattle empire much in the financial news of late.
