The Magic Spear, or, Camped with The Blacks : a tale of the early days

---

This little book has been written for young Australians. It isan attempt to interest our boys and girls in the aborigines - those dark skinned people whose ancestors wandered to and fro over the face of our great continent long before the first white men visited its shores.

Very few of our boys and girls have ever visited a native camp - in fact, many of them have never seen a native; but we can all learn something, even from the most humble folk, and it is the hope of the author that the story of Harry Pascoe and his Magic Spear will not only prove of interest, but will also be the means of teaching the young reader something of the habits and customs of our Australian blacks, and, in addition, the value of cultivating that power of observation upon which the natives depend so much in their work of hunting and tracking game in the forest.
