"Tom Wills grew up among the Djabwurrung people in Western Victoria in the 1840s, speaking their language and playing their games. Sent to an exclusive school in England, he returned to Australia with a rallying cry that revolutionised sport in Australia: 'Let's have a game of our own', thus opening the door to an indigenous code of football, with its own rules, humour and history. Snubbed by the big end of town, this driven and passionate man was dead at 44. What killed Tom Wills?"--Page 4 of cover.
