Cattle and conflict
by Kevin James Moran
"Sand and stone continues to chronicle the story of the violent hidden history of Western Australia's Kimberley region in this two part volume 'Cattle and conflict'. The settlers faced a battle for their survival and the very existence of the pastoral industry was threatened by the unfettered cattle killing by Aborigines. The pioneer police of this perilous and beautiful region were called upon to stem the slaughter and bring the stock killers to justice. It is a violent story of two cultures so far apart in understanding the other that nought else could result except violent conflict. The story is played out against the background of Pigeon and his gang of murderers."--Back cover.
