Description
The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses (1895) is the first collection of poems by Australian poet Banjo Paterson. It was released in hardback by Angus and Robertson in 1895, and features the poet's widely anthologised poems ''''The Man from Snowy River'''', ''''Clancy of the Overflow'''', ''''Saltbush Bill'''' and ''''The Man from Ironbark''''. It also contains the poet's first two poems that featured in The Bulletin Debate, a famous dispute in The Bulletin magazine from 1892-93 between Paterson and Henry Lawson. The collection includes 48 poems by the author that are reprinted from various sources, along with a preface by Rolf Boldrewood, who defined the collection as ''''the best bush ballads written since the death of Lindsay Gordon''''.
