A Riverman's Story - Kelsall E. M. 'Mick' - 1986

265 pages. Covers have light creasing. Corners of covers are moderately bumped. Spine has minor lean and minimal reading creases. Pages are lightly tanned. The Murray River was young Mick Kelsall's playground as he grew up among the battlers in the Echuca district in a time of chronic rural unemployment. Later, like father, he gave his strength in the tough world of the bargees and timber getters, fruit pickers, laubourers and tramps who struggled for survival around the river towns. Mick's story of rough schooling, the riverside gangs, fruit stealing, hunting, fishing, trespassing and troublemaking have Mick and his mates a mere half step ahead of authority. But the Murray River, finding any work and helping to keep his family together are the three forces in Mick's life and draw him inevitably to follow two old drinking mates, his cantankerous father and the scandalous Uncle Bob, on the forays on the river and in the bush.
