Excerpt from Digging, Squatting, and Pioneering Life in the Northern Territory of South Australia The first three years of my sketch, viz., from 1870 to 1873, are written entirely from memory, unaided by notes, journals, or letters; and as my relatives who were with me then, are now scattered all over the world, I have been deprived of the help they would have given me. The latter part of the book I have compiled from every authentic source I have had access to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

So Far and Yet So Close provides a comparative study of frontier cattle ranching in two societies on opposite ends of the globe. It is also an environmental history that at the same time centres on both the natural and frontier environments. There are many points at which the western Canadian and northern Australian cattle frontiers evoke comparisons. Most obviously they came to life at about the same time: late 1870s-early 1880s. In both cases corporations were heavy investors and utilized an open range system in which tens of thousands of cattle roamed over thousands of square acres. Rancher.
