Admiral Arthur Phillip, the Man: 1738-1814

Lyn M. Fergusson

4.9/5 (26754 ratings)

Description:What sort of man was Arthur Phillip? Did he have French blood? Historians have always supposed Phillip was of German extraction. Here the possibility he was of French Huguenot descent is introduced as the author delves into his personal life in more detail than is seen in earlier publications. Phillip's service with the Portuguese Navy and subsequent visits to South America are clarified through the Rubello Transcripts; time spent in France as a spy for the Home Office is discussed as is the mystery surrounding his death. No personal papers of Phillip's were thought to exist until a discovery in 1998 of three letters to his wife, providing an insight into his second marriage. This biography concentrates on the man, clearly illustrating the character of New South Wales' first governor. It puts to rest any notion Arthur Phillip's capabilities were unknown to the British Government when commissioned to lead an expedition of such magnitude to the far side of the world.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
