Robert Llewellyn Tyler

The Welsh in an Australian Gold Town (eBook, ePUB)

Ballarat, Victoria 1850-1900

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides an analysis of the Welsh immigrant community in the Ballarat/Sebastopol gold mining district of Victoria, Australia during the second half of the nineteenth century. As its focus, the book has the Welsh migrant group as a whole, in one particular area, during one period of time, and is a departure from previous studies that have concentrated on prominent individuals and cultural/religious societies, to the exclusion of many facets of immigrant life. By viewing the entire Welsh community in one area, over a set period of time and including all aspects of the migrant experience, a clearer picture is obtained regarding the true nature of that community and the ways in which it evolved.
