The Wild White Man and Buckley among Port Phillip Natives
An account of William Buckley the British soldier who lived with a Port Phillip Aboriginal tribe for about thirty years. Buckley learned their language and customs, fought beside them in tribal conflicts, and became a monarchical figure in a vast, hostile landscape before being located by a search party on May 28, 185. The narrative notes his lifelong integration with the tribe and his survival amid dangers.
