Ebenezer's Boss: An Imaginative Reconstruction of Pioneering Days by Sandra Nagel
This is the story of a man's struggle to succeed in the establishment of a shipping port for inland wool. Set in the deep north of New South Wales prior to separation
The historical record of George Furber, who was axed to death in 1855, was the catalyst for Ebenezer's Boss. This is an imaginative sketch - a pen-picture of his life and the adventurous, the roguish and the brave in the Wide Bay area. Written with sympathetic understanding and an accuracy of observation, this novel depicts a wide variety of characters, capturing their moods and bringing them to life.
Official letters report facts but this novel creates a living dimension, giving a moving account of an extraordinary man. A story of emotional force, exciting and inventive, where the past is brought vividly to life. Combining historical research with a dramatic reconstruction of events, Ebenezer's Boss gives a genuine breath to Australian history.
A realistic, moving account, capturing the spirit of the pioneering era.
