Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daily Life and Origin of the Tasmanians Is a re-issue of the present work a few observations may be allowed. Since the publication of the "Last of the Tasmanians" and the "Daily Life" of that people, much interest has continued to be drawn to them. They have attracted the attention of such writers as Quatrefages, Topinhard, Hamy, Buckner, Lubbock, Darwin, Tylor, Huxley and others. But the materials for a knowledge of this remarkable race were too few and uncertain to form definite understanding, except from reference to their supposed kindred, the Australians. The Author began his search for information in 1842, consulting those who had known them in their early wanderings, or on their Flinders Island prison. He first made an acquaintance with some natives in 1841, and was with the last gathering of the poor souls some twenty years after. The prejudices of party strife could not fail to colour stories of the Black War of Van Diemen's Land. The long continuance of that war, the dispersion of the unhappy Dark-Skins, the sufferings of women and the destruction of children, all tended to the breakup of the Tribes, the blending of old dialects, the confusion of ideas from intercourse with Whites. As the "Last of the Tasmanians" has been long out of print, a few remarks as to the history of the departed may not be here out of place. Tasman, the Dutch navigator, discovered and named in 1642 the Island of Van Diemen's Land, but he never caught sight of the Tasmanians, though hearing their voices in the dense forest. Our earliest intelligence of them is gained from the voyages of Cook, Furneaux, D'Entrecasteaux, Baudin, Flinders and Bass. A small English party from Sydney in 1803 formed a post on the Derwent River. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of Tasmania from Its Discovery in 1642 to the Present Time written by James Fenton and published by . This book was released on 1884 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Fenton (1820-1901) was born in Ireland and emigrated to Tasmania (then known as Van Diemen's Land) with his family in 1833. He became a pioneer settler in an area on the Forth River and published this history of the island in 1884. The book begins with the discovery of the island in 1642 and concludes with the deaths of some significant public figures in the colony in 1884. The establishment of the colony on the island, and the involvement of convicts in its building, is documented. A chapter on the native aborigines gives a fascinating insight into the attitudes of the colonising people, and a detailed account of the removal of the native Tasmanians to Flinders Island, in an effort to separate them from the colonists. The book also contains portraits of some aboriginal people, as well as a glossary of their language.
