Similarly in Australia there were a lot of symbolic battles that never resulted in serious injury or death.
That said I wouldn’t characterise pre-invasion Australia as great, most of the country is pretty fucking hard to survive in (let alone over 60k years of climate change)
I’ve read a couple thousand for work, there’s no utility or meaning to be gathered except some people have pretty shit lives and some people make very rash decisions (and accidentally chose high lethality methods).
I don’t think I’ve ever read one that was like “to my family, I am sorry but I was not productive every day and I wasted lots of time”
