Autorenporträt
Lucie Crawford has a passion for new knowledge and research and was drawn into William Nowland's story when William emerged as an interesting and significant person from amongst Lucie's stories on her ancestry. On approaching the local historical societies, it was suggested that William was a significant historical figure within the Hunter region and a comprehensive account of his life would be valuable. Some of William's story was found in historical documents and books held by the local historical societies, from a variety of cognizant sources on the web and most notably, the National Library's Trove with its numerous newspapers that have enriched the story, while other informative aspects of William's life emerged after extensive and rigorous research. The approach taken is based on grounded theory and reliant on repetitive findings within the data. It draws upon Lucie's scholarship and professional interests and background in teaching, learning and research at a tertiary level.
