Join us at Gosford Regional Library as Richard Waterhouse presents his newest book 'Land of Promise’, a non-fiction book that combines genealogy, family history, local history, national history, and personal history to tell a rich and intriguing Australian story spanning 200 years.
Hear about how a family of convicts was provided an opportunity for redemption, a crusader for Victorian Protestant puritanism with a sordid personal life, and the heroic exploits of a World War II Squadron Leader.
Richard Waterhouse is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Sydney. He is the author of six books and more than 70 chapters and articles on aspects of American and Australian history.
