Cover Notes, Front:
"In 1880, at the age of eighteen, William Kracke set
out
from Bremen, Germany, seeking adventure and a new life,
in a new land..."
Cover Notes, Back:
"William Kracke was born the son of a military officer,
on
Dec 1, 1862, in Bremen, Germany.
He looked set for a comfortable life.
But political change was in the air, a change that would
effect the course of his life...
Ride his rainbow:
Rounding the Cape of Good Hope aboard the "Cuzco".
The search for work on the streets of Sydney, 1880.
Seeking fortune on the wild Palmer River Goldfields.
Living among the hostile Blacks of Northern Queensland.
The alpine high country, the passion for photography."
