A Romance of Canvas Town and Other Stories by Rolf Boldrewood is about Evan Cameron. Evan compassionately defends a young Miss Melton on the day of a market and finds the love of his life. Excerpt: "DWELLERS in Melbourne during 1851 and the immediately succeeding years of the golden age in Australia will remember Canvas Town. Good cause, doubtless, has certain prosperous citizens to recall the strange suburb of Melbourne across the river, in which they, with hundreds of strangers and pilgrims, were fain to abide, pending suitable lodgings or employment."
