Lawson's darkly realistic work includes all four stories of Joe Wilson, a sheep shearer suffering from drinking problems and the hardship of the bush. Along the bleaker tales are more 'humorous' takes on bush life, including 'The Loaded Dog', 'The Golden Graveyard' and 'Jimmy Grimshaw's Wooing'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Christopher Lee Joe Wilson and His Mates  Prefatory verses - the author's farewell to the bushmen Part 1  Joe Wilson's courtship  Brighten's sister-in-law  'Water them geraniums':  â 1.
