description: Mulvaney is an Australian historian and archaeologist, and former chair of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies. He provides an account of Paddy Cahill (1863-1923), an energetic frontiersman who employed Aboriginal labor and pioneered tropical horticulture, agriculture and butter production in Australia's Northern Territory. His efforts on behalf of Aboriginal people and his contact and long friendship with anthropologist, Baldwin Spencer, resulted in Cahill's appointment as a Protector of Aborigines in 1912. In addition to Mulvaney's biography, the text contains Cahill's letters to Baldwin from 1912 to 1921, and an excerpt from Spencer's book, Native Tribes of the Northern Territory (1914).
