Aboriginal Pathways in Southeast Queensland and the Richmond River
St Lucia, University of Queensland Press, 1987/ 1984.
Quarto, xx, 366 pages with 16 tables and 144 illustrations (including plans and maps).
Papered boards unevenly sunned; tiny indentation on the front panel; ownership signature on the front free endpaper; an excellent copy (internally fine) with the very good dustwrapper (a little sunned and creased with a few short closed tears).
'The first European chroniclers of Aboriginal Culture in Australia looked for the sensational, often neglecting its more significant features. In his fourth book on Queensland's early history, J.G. Steele corrects this imbalance with a detailed account of the Aborigines of the subtropical coast at the time of their earliest contact with whites' (dustwrapper blurb).
