THE DRUMMONDS OF HAWTHORNDEN
The
Drummonds of Hawthornden served as a link between Rica's
botanical and historical writing. It is the biography of James
Drummond (1784-1863) who was born in Hawthornden, Scotland
and arrived in Western Australia on the Parmelia in
1829. He was the first resident government naturalist/botanist
and his family established the property of Hawthornden in
the Toodyay valley near where Rica lived at Bolgart.
