About this title

Synopsis

Banking Under Difficulties: Or Life On The Goldfields Of Victoria, New South Wales And New Zealand (1888) is a memoir written by an anonymous bank official about his experiences working in the banking industry during the gold rush era in Australia and New Zealand. The book provides a firsthand account of the challenges and struggles faced by bank officials as they tried to establish a banking system in the remote and often lawless goldfields. The author describes the difficult living conditions, the dangers of robbery and fraud, and the constant threat of violence from desperate gold miners. He also provides insights into the daily workings of the banking industry, including the establishment of new banks, the management of accounts, and the difficulties of transporting gold and cash across vast distances. The book offers a unique perspective on the history of banking in Australia and New Zealand, and provides a valuable glimpse into the lives of those who worked in the industry during a time of great upheaval and change. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of finance, the gold rush era, or the early days of colonial Australia and New Zealand.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
