Harold lasseter (19 résultats)

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Harold Bell Lasseter claimed to have found an immense reef of gold in Central Australia and he dissapeared while searching for the reef in 1930. Lasseter claims in his diary that he had rediscovered the reef and had pegged and claimed the area (but gave no date or no location); however, suffering from starvation and sandy blight he recorded his thoughts, what good a reef worth millions? I would give it all for a loaf of bread. The diary was found after his body was discovered, and further expeditions have failed to solve the mystery. This is the first time the diary has been fully transcribed and contains all of Lasster's own mud-maps. The diary was purchased by Ion Idriess from Lasseter's widow in 1931, and from it he wrote the best-seller Lasseter's Last Ride. Here is the transcription of the diary with its original mud-maps and drawings. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

'Lewis Hubert Lasseter (1880-1931), gold-seeker' is how his entry in the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' begins. In 1929 he 'claimed that eighteen years previously he had discovered "a vast gold bearing reef in Central Australia"' and in July 1930 he was able to mount an expedition to rediscover it. 'No trace of a reef was found and when accidents and rough terrain forced the party back in September, Lasseter carried on his search with Paul Johns, an English dogger, who had a string of camels. They quarrelled and parted company and Lasseter, after his two camels had bolted, lived for about sixteen weeks with Aboriginals and died apparently of starvation at Shaws Creek in the Petermann Ranges [around the end of January 1931]. Lasseter claimed in his diary, later recovered, that he had "rediscovered" his reef and pegged his claim', thus ensuring the myth persists to this day.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Harold Bell Lasseter had always claimed he had found an immense reef of gold hundreds of miles west of Alice Springs. In 1930, with Australia in the grip of Depression, a privately funded expedition led by Fred Blakeley, accompanied Lasseter in an attempt to relocate the reef. Blakeley left Lasseter at Ililba, and Lasseter continued his trek towards the Olgas with a dingo shooter and their camels. Lasseter continued to be introspective and brood, prompting Lasseter to go off alone with two camels. In March 1931 an expedition led by bushman Bob Buck found Lasseters body at Winters Glen, and his diary at Hulls Creek, wherein it describes how after his camels bolted, he was alone in the desert, encountering a group of nomadic Aboriginals who offered offer him food and shelter. Blind, exhausted and dying, Lasseter made one last attempt to walk from Hulls Creek to Uluru. The diary was purchased by Ion Idriess from Lasseters widow in 1931, and from it he wrote the best-seller Lasseters Last Ride. Here is the transcription of the diary with its original mud-maps and drawings.
