  • Papuan Epic – Keith Bushell – 1930

    Papuan Epic – Keith Bushell – 1930

    Keith Bushell was a Patrol Officer and Magistrate in New Guinea. His book is an extremely personal account at times drifting to dialogue, Skirmished and cannibalism abound as does “white savagery”.

    The battles of Pai-Wa and Ebadidi are recorded. The questionable taming of the sorcerer “Donovan”. Nicely illustrated as usual for New Guinea items.

    The Black Musketeers – Marshall – 1937

    First edition 1937 The New Hebrides (Vanuatu) and one of the most readable Pacific Island accounts because of the skill and humour of the author Jock Marshall. From the Oxford University Exploring Committee. The introduction by his colleague Tom Harrison sets the scene better than many.

    The musketeers use guns taken there in the 19th century by sandalwood and slave trader … they still work.

    Well illustrated … Interesting story behind the “red flag”.
