Killed by the Blacks in the Australian Gold Rush Tale
Richard Parker recounts a brutal ambush during the 1885 Kimberley gold rush. Parker and Jack Tyndall survive a savage attack by Black natives, bury a murdered man named John Farquharson, and meet Norah Mackenzie, daughter of Roderick Mackenzie of Tarragon. The narrative blends frontier peril with a tense burial rite and hints at identities and past deceptions.

The Passing of Kaskaskia Ends Illinois History Epoch
The last trace of Kaskaskia, the first capital of Illinois, will vanish as the Mississippi River washes away its land. Once a city of 15,000, its governor’s home, church, and graveyards have been lost to the river, with only a few ruins remaining above the banks. The old graves were relocated to a new cemetery on the bluffs, preserving history from water danger.
