Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Broken Hill: Its Rise and Progress From stem to stern, from every port, and high above on the funnels and masts, the glittering lights were shining. On the right stood the sister ships, The South, Block and The Central, somewhat hidden to view, with only a high light or two visible; while on the left, anchored side by side, were Block The British, The Junction, The Junction North, and far away in the distance The North. Let him who has never witnessed this sight or noticed the marvellous resemblance depicted, ascend the Hill any night, and he will be amply repaid by the splendid panoramic view which stretches-out on either side, all brilliantly lit up with thousands of lights, forming a perfect picture for the artist's brush. It is of these Ships, and their actions - the progress they have made - the course they have run - and the speed attained - that this book is written, but it is first needful to secure from the relics of the past their origin and discovery.

Sounds of liberty
Author: Kate Bowan
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 152610623X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Throughout the long nineteenth-century the sounds of liberty resonated across the Anglophone world. Focusing on radicals and reformers committed to the struggle for a better future, this book explores the role of music in the transmission of political culture over time and distance. Following in the footsteps of relentlessly travelling activists – women and men - it brings to light the importance of music making in the lived experience of politics. It shows how music encouraged, unified, divided, consoled, reminded, inspired and, at times, oppressed. The book examines iconic songs; the sound of music as radicals and reformers were marching, electioneering, celebrating, commemorating as well as striking, rioting and rebelling; and it listens within the walls of a range of associations where it was a part of a way of life, inspiring, nurturing, though at times restrictive. It provides an opportunity to hear history as it happened.
