Book excerpt: The Soldier Settlement Commission purchased 23,373 acres of Tarrone Station from the Boyd Brothers in February 1947, fully stocked with sheep, cattle and horses. The first wool clip was sufficient to cover the cost. The first portion of fourteen holdings was subdivided in December 1947 and occupied in May 1948. The second group occupied their blocks in October 1949, nine others arrived in April 1952, and the final ten settlers arrived in 1957, making a total of 48 farms. The homestead area was sold by tender in March 1958. There was soon a thriving community with tennis and social clubs and Recreation Reserve Committee. By the 1060s Tarrone was carrying approximately 60,000 sheep and 3,000 head of cattle. By 1983 Tarrone was in the hands of a new generation. There remained nine of the original settlers with four others continuing farming through sons of the original settlers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1900s, British Columbia embarked on a brief but intense effort to manufacture a modern countryside. The government wished to reward Great War veterans with new lives: settlers would benefit from living in a rural community, considered a more healthy and moral alternative to urban life. But the fundamental reason for the land resettlement project was the rise of progressive or “new liberal” thinking, as reformers advocated an expanded role for the state in guaranteeing the prosperity and economic security of its citizens. James Murton examines how this process unfolded, and demonstrates how the human-environment relationship of the early twentieth century shaped the province as it is today.

Download or read book The Second Son of a Soldier Settler written by Douglas Cope and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I had no ambition to write any story at all. My father was a soldier and served overseas with the A.I.F. during the Second World War. With his discharge, he was encouraged to apply for War Service, and to also put his name forward for the Soldier Settlement Scheme, which all states supported. This allocation of land could be anywhere, usually in the state of residence. But let me say, the back of beyond and woop woop, could well be where most families ended up.As a young boy, I really could not understand the behaviour of my father, no doubt damaged from war service as were most, who have seen action. As I grew older, being the youngest, I felt left out. Even at six or seven years old, my best friends, where my bike and my dog. Together we roamed far and wide, looking for odd jobs. Always yearning for my independence, my father conceded and sent me into the navy for twelve years. I was fifteen years old. Three books cover a life of great moments and torment, and what willed me on, at all costs, to achieve in, opportunities that came my way. Generally though, under a great deal of duress, I hurt those who were closest. In 2006, after two years of psychiatric treatment and forty - two years after a savage ambush at sea, on 17 December, 1964 at Raffles Light ,Singapore, I was diagnosed with long- term mental scarring and PTSD. I was also told that I had probably been 'On the Spectrum' since very early childhood. Then my lifetime of hard work, achievements and still more to hope for, were brought to a crushing demise, by a simple hip replacement that went horribly wrong.My reason for writing these books, is I believe, my family, who witnessed my behaviour and temperament, just like I had witnessed my own father's. Totally misunderstood, how can one verbally explain? The written word can only be erased by turning the page. This synopsis covers the three books. Keeping in mind -the first book has 400 plus pages - also the second and third.I hope others in our vast community can relate to the words within these pages. Thank you for reading." -- from publishers website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 10,000 men, women, and children were placed on farms in Australia during the 1920s as part of the soldier plan after World War II. Of the 12,000 families settled in Victoria, a majority failed to establish themselves, and the cost of this ill-conceived plan was enormous, both to the people and the state. This innovative social history focuses on the experiences of the settlers as they struggled against appalling conditions to make ends meet and maintain their dignity.

Download or read book Lords of the Land written by Idith Zertal and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lords of the Land tells the tragic story of Jewish settlement in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In the aftermath of the 1967 war and Israel's devastating victory over its Arab neighbors, catastrophe struck both the soul and psyche of the state of Israel. Based on years of research, and written by one of Israel's leading historians and journalists, this involving narrative focuses on the settlers themselves -- often fueled by messianic zeal but also inspired by the original Zionist settlers -- and shows the role the state of Israel has played in nurturing them through massive economic aid and legal sanctions. The occupation, the authors argue, has transformed the very foundations of Israel's society, economy, army, history, language, moral profile, and international standing. "The vast majority of the 6.5 million Israelis who live in their country do not know any other reality," the authors write. "The vast majority of the 3.5 million Palestinians who live in the regions of their occupied land do not know any other reality. The prolonged military occupation and the Jewish settlements that are perpetuating it have toppled Israeli governments and have brought Israel's democracy and its political culture to the brink of an abyss."

Download or read book New Zealand's First World War Heritage written by Imelda Bargas and published by Exisle Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rediscover New Zealand’s hidden First World War history through the places where it happened. No battles were fought here, yet the First World War intruded into the daily life of every New Zealander who remained at home. This ground-breaking book provides vivid new insights into their experiences through exploring the places where they lived, worked, coped and mourned: army camps, fortifications, soldier-settler farms, town halls, wharves, convalescent homes and hospitals, cemeteries and war memorials, dairy factories and woollen mills. From Northland to Stewart Island, our landscape is signposted with thousands of poignant memorials, and behind the façades of old buildings, beneath scrub and behind farm fences lies a less visible landscape of war and hundreds of hidden stories waiting to be told: a soldier’s name carved on a remote railway station, a once bustling uniform factory in the heart of a city, a long abandoned gun battery … This unique book will be a revelation to all New Zealanders. Extensively illustrated with new and period photographs and fascinating maps, it contains original research and information that will open the eyes of every reader to places and stories in their community hidden in plain sight. The impact of the First World War on New Zealanders was immense; its legacy can be seen all around us today.

Download or read book Homesteading the Plains written by Richard Edwards and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Homesteading the Plains offers a bold new look at the history of homesteading, overturning what for decades has been the orthodox scholarly view. The authors begin by noting the striking disparity between the public's perception of homesteading as a cherished part of our national narrative and most scholars' harshly negative and dismissive treatment. Homesteading the Plains reexamines old data and draws from newly available digitized records to reassess the current interpretation's four principal tenets: homesteading was a minor factor in farm formation, with most Western farmers purchasing their land; most homesteaders failed to prove up their claims; the homesteading process was rife with corruption and fraud; and homesteading caused Indian land dispossession. Using data instead of anecdotes and focusing mainly on the nineteenth century, Homesteading the Plainsdemonstrates that the first three tenets are wrong and the fourth only partially true. In short, the public's perception of homesteading is perhaps more accurate than the one scholars have constructed. Homesteading the Plainsprovides the basis for an understanding of homesteading that is startlingly different from current scholarly orthodoxy. "--
