Deeds That Won the Empire (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)
William Henry Fitchett (1841-1928) was an Australian journalist, minister, newspaper editor, educator and founding president of the Methodist Ladies' College, Melbourne. He entered journalism during the eighteen-seventies, contributing a regular column to the Spectator, the Methodist church paper, signed XYZ. Some time later he became editor of the Southern Cross. But what really brought him before the general public was a series of articles which were published in The Argus under the title of Deeds that Won the Empire. They were collected and published in book form in Melbourne in 1896 and in London, in 1897. The book eventually ran into 35 editions and about 250,000 copies were sold. Similar volumes followed in steady succession including: Wellington's Men (1900), The Tale of the Great Mutiny (1901) and The New World of the South (1913). He also produced three volumes of fiction: The Commander of the Hirondelle (1904), Ithuriel's Spear (1906) and A Pawn in the Game (1908); and four books on religion: The Unrealized Logic of Religion (1905), Wesley and his Century (1906), The Beliefs of Unbelief (1908) and Where the Higher Criticism Fails (1922).

White Vanishing
The story of the vulnerable white person vanishing without trace into the harsh Australian landscape is a potent and compelling element in multiple genres of mainstream Australian culture. It has been sung in “Little Boy Lost,” brought to life on the big screen in Picnic at Hanging Rock, immortalized in Henry Lawson’s poems of lost tramps, and preserved in the history books’ tales of Leichhardt or Burke and Wills wandering in mad circles. A world-wide audience has also witnessed the many-layered and oddly strident nature of Australian disappearance symbolism in media coverage of contemporary disappearances, such as those of Azaria Chamberlain and Peter Falconio.

Navidad Country -
Volume 1 - Lyons to Mulberry During the 1800's, the area along and between the East and West Navidad Rivers in Texas was known as the Navidad Country. A majority of the pioneers came from the Old South, some arriving with Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred. Once settled, they proceeded to clear the land, till the soil and build homes and towns. The aftermath of the Civil War brought great change and loss to these once prosperous people. Information and photographs for over 100 of the families and their relationships is made available for the first time, in addition to descriptive accounts of the once thriving towns of the area.
