George Farwell presents the sweeping saga of E.D.S. Ogilvie, a man who carved a vast pastoral empire from the rugged landscapes of New South Wales, shaping the social and economic fabric of the young nation in the process. Written with narrative authority and a keen eye for historical detail, the biography illustrates how Ogilvie's ambition, resilience, and vision defined the era of the great squatters — those bold landholders who pushed the boundaries of settlement far beyond the official limits of the colony. Farwell draws on rich primary sources to paint a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century Australian frontier life, capturing the triumphs and hardships of a dynasty built on wool, land, and sheer determination. This is an essential read for anyone passionate about Australian history, colonial society, and the larger-than-life figures who shaped a continent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792247009499,"sku":"2026600000405-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ad98d99c-1054-48a0-bf5e-b62b85474075.png?v=1779273994","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000405-secondhand-squatters-castle-the-story-of-a-pastoral-dynasty-life-and-times-of-edward-david-stewart-ogilvie-1814-96","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
