Mary Thomas: Founding Mother - Paperback

by Beth Duncan (Author)

In 1836 Mary Thomas, aged 49, abandoned her comfortable life and home in the centre of London for a tent in the sandhills of Holdfast Bay in the new colony of South Australia. Mary Thomas: Founding Mother is the story of her struggle to hold her family together through controversies and conflicts, economic difficulties and tragedy; a tale of endurance and ultimately of triumph against the odds.
