Subject: There has been no country without its patriot; no race of people without the fearless man whose life has been devoted to his fellows; no community lacking the leader who rose superior to hardship and difficulty. Bristish history rings with the names of such men, and it was right that Australia, with her foot upon the doorway of national life, should honour the names of those who in her early and troubled babyhood led her bravely and well. Such a one was William Charles Wentworth - first native-born patriot, statesman, explorer, author, orator and devoted friend of his native land! Wentworth, determined to spread all that was already known as widely as possible, decided to write this book. No one could have been possibly better equipped for the task. He knew all the circumstances, he had helped to make the history, and he had extended the geography of the counrty. [Inside front cover]
