Download or read book Van Diemen's Land written by Murray Johnson and published by UNSW Press. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Aborigines in Van Diemen’s Land is long. The first Tasmanians lived in isolation for as many as 300 generations after the flooding of Bass Strait. Their struggle against almost insurmountable odds is one worthy of respect and admiration, not to mention serious attention. This broad-ranging book is a comprehensive and critical account of that epic survival up to the present day. Starting from antiquity, the book examines the devastating arrival of Europeans and subsequent colonisation, warfare and exile. It emphasises the regionalism and separateness, a consistent feature of Aboriginal life since time immemorial that has led to the distinct identities we see in the present, including the unique place of the islanders of Bass Strait. Carefully researched, using the findings of archaeologists and extensive documentary evidence, some only recently uncovered, this important book fills a long-time gap in Tasmanian history.

Download or read book Van Diemen's Women written by Joan Kavanagh and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 2 September 1845, the convict ship Tasmania left Kingstown Harbour for Van Diemen's Land with 138 female convicts and their 35 children. On 3 December, the ship arrived into Hobart Town. While this book looks at the lives of all the women aboard, it focuses on two women in particular: Eliza Davis, who was transported from Wicklow Gaol for life for infanticide, having had her sentence commuted from death, and Margaret Butler, sentenced to seven years' transportation for stealing potatoes in Carlow. Using original records, this study reveals the reality of transportation, together with the legacy left by these women in Tasmania and beyond, and shows that perhaps, for some, this Draconian punishment was, in fact, a life-saving measure.

Download or read book A-Z of Convicts in Van Diemen's Land written by Simon Barnard and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-24 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy-three thousand convicts were transported to the British penal colony of Van Diemen’s Land in the first half of the nineteenth century. They played a vital role in the building of the settlements, as well as the running of the newly established colony. Simon Barnard’s A–Z of Convicts in Van Diemen’s Land is a rich and compelling account of the lives of the men, women and children who were transported to Tasmania for crimes ranging from stealing bread to poisoning family members. Their sentences, punishments, achievements and suffering make for fascinating reading. And the spectacular illustrations, each one carefully drawn in meticulous detail from contemporary records, bring this extraordinary history to life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Geographical, Historical, and Topographical Description of Van Diemen's Land, With Important Hints to Emigrants, and Useful Information Respecting the Application for Grants of Land: Together With a List of the Most Necessary Articles for Persons to Take Out; Embellished by a Correct View of Hobart Town; Also, a Large Chart of the Island, Thirty Inches by Twenty-Four, With the Soundings of the Harbours and Rivers Having had the honour to fill the office of deputy-surveyor General of this Island since the year 1811, the performance of the geo graphical and surveying task, the results of which are now, at the recommendation of several very high and most respected officers, both in New South Wales and in Van Diemen's Land, submitted to the public, naturally fell within the line of my duty and I am rather provoked to, than diverted from, the publication of my verbal description of the Island, by a perusal of Lieutenant Jeffreys's Geographical and Descriptive Delineations of the same country, the exag gerations and misrepresentations of which are only calculated to mislead and disappoint the Emigrant. Nevertheless, some few passages of the two books will be found too well to correspond; that is to say, they concur verbatim, - as one of the wits says in the co medy of The Critic When they do agree.
