John Batman: The Founder of Victoria is a historical biography written by James Bonwick in 1868. The book chronicles the life and achievements of John Batman, a prominent figure in the early years of Australian settlement. Batman played a significant role in the founding of the state of Victoria, and the book explores his life, from his early years in Tasmania to his exploits as a land speculator and entrepreneur in Victoria. Bonwick provides a detailed account of Batman's interactions with the indigenous people of Australia, including his controversial treaty with the Wurundjeri people, which led to the establishment of Melbourne. The book also covers Batman's political career and his contributions to the development of the colony of Victoria. Written in a clear and engaging style, John Batman: The Founder of Victoria is a fascinating account of one of Australia's most important historical figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
