John Macarthur, alleged founder of the Australian wool industry, was a self-centred, bull-headed man who was easily insulted and quick to take offence. He refused to be seen in the company of some people, let alone talk to them. He fought others in duels. In his last years he was quite mad, violent and a danger to his family. Scrub him! Let's look at his wife, without whom he's a nobody.

I have just finished your book, Elizebeth Macarthur,  It is very well written and has a lot of info.  
I never knew that there was a second fleet.
The only problem with the book is that on page 4 I think the dates are wrong other than that I very much enjoyed it and hope to read more.

P.S. I had a question why wasn't John Macarthur allowed to resign from the army? If you could reply that would be great.

1.   Why Wasn't John Macarthur allowed to resign from the army?
2. How come in the 1800's the Army and the Navy had the right to kill and no one else did?
3. How did the Army/Navy kill people?

  I particulary enjoyed the cartoon on page 13, it was really funny! Did you write it and Sally Bradley illustrate it?  

my name is Sebastian, i go to Xavier, i have just read your book Elizabeth Macarthur, it was great and i have some positive stuff and some negative stuff. On page 2 most of the times are wrong. And a good piece of information is the piece of information about the cows, how in seventeen yeers 40,000 cattle was made. But over all the book was great. Dear Allen Drummond, your Elizabeth Macarther book was great! Its funny, amazing, and sometimes sad at points, but there are a bit of mistakes at page 2, there date (year) mistakes you should take a look.

And my favorite funny part is where it said "Soldiers only get 35c a day!" your book was great, ill read more of your books and please reply to me! I enjoyed this book and I liked the illustrations too!Although i couldn't quite understand it or find much information about Elizabeth Macarthur.But still the book was great!!

To Allan Drummond,

Dear Allan Drummond,                                                                    

Not alot of Australians do biography do biographies so I was wondering did you grow upin another country? I liked your book on Elizabeth Macarthur. Its cool the questions on cows how they grow in number so quickley, and the front cover-class of 1812.

I enjoyed your book,Elizibeth Macurthur, it was great.
it was really funny and I learnt alot like: 6 cattle could turn into 4000 in 16 years!
I look forward to more

Dear Allan Drummund

in Elizabeth Macarthur i really enjoyed the start but why did you start of like that.4 to 4,000 is incredable. Was 35 cents a small amount or was it a big amount or was it a normal amount?On page 4 of elizabeth macarthur you made a error with the dates and i really enjoyed the book>


Dear Allan drummond,

I thought your book"Elizabeth Macarthur", wasa greatbook. It hadalot of facts and funny bits. Here are some of the facts I learnt.
-6 cows,leave them in the bush for 17 years, get thm back and have 4000
-They had duels, "Fire",BANG BANG,"Reload","Fire", BANG BANG.
-The king has pure bred merinos
                           I also have some questions:
-On page 7, at the bottom, there is a picture of a boat and on the boat there are stick figures. Is that how they slept?
Once agian  
I thought it was a great book and would recomend it to everybody.



Hi Allan Drummond

Sorry that I haven't wrote to you yet.
I read your book called Elizabeth Macarthur, It was exciting to know about her daily life style and what she did for a living.It showed me how hard Elzabeth worked to support her husband through hard times. This has helped me to try harder in my future studies. Thankyou! bye

This book is mainly about John Macarthur. He was arrigant and selfish. He was always fighting. He was the founder of the Australian wool industry. He came from England to New South Wales. But if it wasn't for his wife Elizabeth, he wouldn't be famous. She looked after his job when he went back to England. I enjoyed reading this book very much.


Hey,
This book is pretty hard to understand and the activities are hard but it is ok.
