A biography of the founding governor of New South Wales, presenting much new material on his formative years in the navy.
This beautifully illustrated book recounts the life of the founding governor of New South Wales: a life of extensive travel and exploration. It also provides a wealth of detail about the times and the society in which he lived. Apart from his achievements in New South Wales, Phillip enjoyed a successful naval career, voyaging further than any but a handful of his contemporaries - to the Arctic, about the coasts of Europe, to the West Indies, to Brazil, to the Cape of Good Hope, to India, and Australia. Alan Frost has created this biography from a wide selection of letters, journals, and geographical works by Phillip's contemporaries, as well as from naval charts and other pictorial records. Readership: scholars and historians of colonial and naval history.
