WHEN THE STATE WAS YOUNG. Our Pioneers.
It was an unknown land to which the pioneers of South Australia came, but to them it was more, it was a young, new world, where men met on equal terms for the first time; for, in the general hardships which all had to face, the old harsh class distinctions vanished, and the son of the English squire and his father's laborer met on the same ground.

Dawkins S.L., arrived Asia, 1839, died August, 1924.
