About The Author:-
Simpson Newland(2nd November,1835 to 27th June,1925),pastoralist,author and politician,was a pioneer in Australia who made significant contributions to development around the Murray River.He was also an author of practical works and novels.

Encouraged by his friend Sir John Langdon Bonython,for whose paper(The Advertiser) he had written a number of articles,he wrote his novel,Paving the Way,which embodied many of his experiences as a pioneer and with indigenous people.

He went to England again in 1893 and arranged for the publication of his book.It was released the same year and was given a good reception by the critics.A second edition was published in 1894 and it has since been several times reprinted.Newland also published a second novel, Blood Tracks of the Bush,in 1900,which was less successful than his earlier work,"partly because inferior,but also because he courageously and accurately portrayed horrific mass-murders of Aborigines by police and pastoralists.The public was not ready for such honesty."

In 1895 he produced several articles for the Adelaide Observer as part of that newspaper's "Old-time Memories" series:Some Aboriginals I Have Known,and A Band of Pioneers.
