Description:Was Governor FitzRoy the man popular history would have us believe? Sir Charles Augustus FitzRoy's tenure as Governor of New South Wales and Governor-General of Australia, 1846-1855, was plagued by rumour. Mention FitzRoy and he is either not remembered at all, remembered as the Governor who caused his wife's death or as a shameless womaniser. Are these damning comments justified?It was the time of Wentworth, Parkes and Lang, giant political figures in New South Wales' early history. FitzRoy's administration oversaw matters such as settlement of the contentious crown land issue and squatters' rights, discovery of gold, education and introduction of the railway.A man of the British Empire, he served firstly his King, then a young Queen Victoria as the Crown's Vice-Regal representative at Prince Edward Island, the Leeward Islands and finally, New South Wales.This biography portrays FitzRoy in a light not previously considered, from a personal, family-oriented aspect, stretching from childhood to the battlefields of Waterloo. Going beyond the rumours set in motion in 1847, it reveals a worldly diplomat, a Governor who encouraged those around him to act on their beliefs.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
