Who was Charles Joseph La Trobe? He is at once a household name and a mystery man. A man vilified by his opponents, and misunderstood by his modern admirers. This biography uncovers the man behind the public name, as not only an important colonial figure but an author and artist. It traces his globetrotting early years and struggles as Governor in Victoria during the goldrush to his eventual blindness in old age, and is filled with interesting colonial illustrations and his personal correspondence.
