Inscriptions & markings

Back cover inscription: "In 1838 a young Scottish ploughman, John McKellar, accepted the challenge of a lifetime - to seek his fortune in far off Australia. With renewed confidence in his future he quickly arranged to wed the daughter of the village schoolmaster and set off for his future country, all within the space of a fortnight. This book recreates, from original sources, the Highland background of John and his wife, Lillias Morrison. It follows their long journey to and also their life in Australia. Their 900 or so direct descendants have made their mark in all walks of life. Most of them have been traced and are also recorded in this book."
