Deborah Tout-Smith draws on extensive archival research to illuminate the social, cultural, and architectural forces that shaped the colony's earliest urban landscape, from the first British arrivals in 1829 through the formative decades that followed. Written with scholarly authority yet an accessible and engaging tone, the narrative presents the lives of the settlers, convicts, merchants, and Indigenous peoples whose stories are woven into the city's foundations. Tout-Smith illustrates how Fremantle's unique character emerged from the intersection of colonial ambition, geographic necessity, and human resilience, offering readers a vivid portrait of a community forged at the edge of a vast and unfamiliar continent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826085605595,"sku":"2026770000598-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7d4f3e0f-6550-4357-9d36-95520d34cf8e.png?v=1780312361","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000598-secondhand-the-foundations-of-fremantle-exploring-the-early-history-of-western-australias-first-city","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
