Derek Pugh' s history of Darwin' s second decade, the 1880s, follows ' Darwin: Origin of a City' . Then known as Palmerston, it was a frontier town in a boom: gold rush, port and railway construction, sugar plantations, pastoralism, pearls and exploration. The population was overwhelmingly Chinese. It is an absorbing history, darkened by massacres, murders and mayhem.
