About this ebook

Hamish McCallum fought in the battle of Waterloo; one of the Gordon Highlanders. Wounded, he survived, only to fall victim to the economic and social upheavals sweeping Scotland in the nineteenth century. His son, Dougal, takes his young family to seek a life in the new world.
Lithgow is a portrait of free settlers coming to Australia in the mid nineteenth century. It brings to life the turmoil that drove them from their homes, and the harshness of the new land awaiting them. It shows how, in trying to build a new life, they recreated the old one

Chris Craig

Chris Craig: Born in Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia. I grew up in the mountains before moving to Lake Macquarie and attending the University of Newcastle, studying History and Economic History. I have enjoyed a varied career including labouring in the BHP steel works, working as a concrete contractor, a student politician, a newspaper columnist and as an Industrial Officer for the Australian Journalists Association (which became the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance while I worked for them). I cut my teeth reading C.S. Forester, Herman Wouk, Leon Uris and Georgette Heyer. Have you read them? You should, if you haven’t yet. They are the real deal. Well researched, well written. True to the story. If you enjoy them, you’ll enjoy my work. It’s worth a read.
