Title: Mariposa. A Story of the Learmonths of Western Victoria and Mexico, 1834-1930.
Description: First Edition; 4to; pp. x, 286; frontispiece, 86 illustrations many within the text, appendices, family trees, references, bibliography, index; original cloth, chipped dustjacket, a very good copy. (Heatherleigh Publishing, 1982). Although the book might be correctly described as a family history of the Learmonths between 1834 and 1930, it is also much more than that. The portrayal of nineteenth century country life, both in Australia and Mexico, will be of interest to many. Drama on the gold fields, bushrangers, murder, drought, fire, and births and deaths of family members are all recounted by these early pioneers in their own words.
