Reseña del libro "Man Tracks: With the Mounted Police in the Australian Wilds (en Inglés)"
This new Idriess book tells of stirring episodes in the pursuit, of lawbreakers in the primitive lands. Every chapter is authentic. Patrols through the Kimberleys, the wild Fitzmaurice River country, the nor'-west of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Central Australia; each incident recorded from the lips of the pursuers and pursued whether white, black, or brown. Here are given for the first time the romantic stories of Nemarluk and Minmara, Tuckiar and Mepara, Chugulla, Tiger, Moodoprish, Natchelma - Aboriginal leaders so much lately before the public eye. Here, too, will be found details of the spearing of Constable McColl, the ambushing of Hemming's patrol, the killing of the Japanese of the luggers' Ouida, The Myrtle, Olga and The Raff, the spearing of Stephens and Cook, of Tetlow, Nichols, Renouf, Traynor and Fagan. The inner story of the most intriguing murder in the rugged fastnesses of northern South Australia, the big mail robbery on the little Centralian railway...The book contains remarkable stories of the methods of aboriginal trackers, given exactly as they worked on each case. Nothing like these tracking chapters has ever been attempted in book form before. - Port Macquarie News, 1935
