Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Book condition is fine. Hard cover. 1st edition, published 1981. Dust jacket near fine, except for top of spine has very minor wear. Book block clean and unmarked front and back. Book boards clean and unmarked all side. Spine intact. Over-all an excellent and neat copy of the book. Extra charges for over-sea shipping as the book weight is over 500grams. See photos. Jenny Hardie began writing of the changing pastoral history of the Pilbara for the West Australian newspaper. She collected photos, anecdotes, and historical data from the earliest days of the Pilbara to the late 20th century. Before she died in 1982, the Port Hedland Council requested her to write a book of the settlement and massive changes that have taken place in the Pilbara during European settlement. What resulted was Nor Westers of the Pilbara Breed, a book that since its 1981 publication has become a classic of the North and one that is unlikely to be surpassed. It includes 266 photos from the 1880s to the 1960s, grouped in chronological order. Seller Inventory # ABE-1714164463722
