"The Bushman — Life in a New Country" by Edward Wilson Landor is a historical account likely written during the mid-19th century. The book explores the experiences and challenges of British colonists in Australia, focusing on their struggles with the land, their personal ambitions, and the dynamics of colonial governance and society. The opening of the book sets the stage for a discussion on the spirit of adventure that drives many to emigrate. Through a reflective tone, Landor introduces the various types of emigrants: those searching for excitement, those forced by necessity, and those seeking escape from personal failings. He outlines their motivations and the challenging realities they encounter upon settling in a new land. The narrative transitions into the personal account of the author, who embarks on a journey to Western Australia with his brothers, highlighting their naive preparations and expectations, including the animals and supplies they bring along. The early passages reveal both a sense of optimism and the impending difficulties that await them in their new home as they navigate the complexities of colonial life.
