“This book has been compiled firstly as a memento of South Australia’s most beloved and oldest newspaper, The Chronicle, which – after a hundred and seventeen years of service to country and city people alike – ceased publication on 26^th September, 1975.  In its earlier years it was generally known as the Countryman’s Bible and no self-respecting country home was complete without its weekly copy.
Most of the selections garnered here are those which came to me first-hand from descendants of pioneers, sometimes form pioneers themselves, and in most cases have not been recorded elsewhere in permanent form.
