The story of a man whose forgotten legacy and "chequered career" reveal a complex and intriguing life in early Australian history.Because of ignorance or shame, Samuel Francis Smith's name and influence in the family he pioneered in Australia was not mentioned in the present generation.Thanks to his obituarist, who quipped he had "a most chequered career" the search to discover the what that meant brought to light a complex and intriguing life.This book tells Samuel's story. Praise for A Most Chequered Career: "...an unusually moving and highly readable work of Australian history. It's both a detective story and a triumph of compassion for a flawed individual, offering profound insights into the lives of Australian colonists in the mid-nineteenth century..."DR KAI JENSEN
