Download or read book A History of Tasmania written by Henry Reynolds and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This captivating work charts the history of Tasmania from the arrival of European maritime expeditions in the late eighteenth century, through to the modern day. By presenting the perspectives of both Indigenous Tasmanians and British settlers, author Henry Reynolds provides an original and engaging exploration of these first fraught encounters. Utilising key themes to bind his narrative, Reynolds explores how geography created a unique economic and migratory history for Tasmania, quite separate from the mainland experience. He offers an astute analysis of the island's economic and demographic reality, by noting that this facilitated the survival of a rich heritage of colonial architecture unique in Australia, and allowed the resident population to foster a powerful web of kinship. Reynolds' remarkable capacity to empathise with the characters of his chronicle makes this a powerful, engaging and moving account of Tasmania's unique position within Australian history.

Excerpt: ... even the troops themselves, were unceremoniously pushed in all directions. All means of escaping from the crush were blocked. The mounted troopers and members of the police force struggled incessantly to maintain a semblance of order; in every direction their efforts were unsuccessful. Several ladies fainted in the confusion, and a timid doctor was noticed sheltering himself behind the stalwart form of a Minister of the Crown. Eventually the troops were collected together, and, headed by the Headquarters Band, marched towards the city boundary. The other members of the Defence Force, followed by a drum and fife band and another brass band, joined the procession. Members of the Fire Brigade in uniform also took part, and, preceded, followed, and surrounded by an excited and cheering crowd, the city boundary, at which an extension archway had been erected, was eventually reached. The following was the parade state: --Staff, 8; Permanent Artillery, 16; Southern Tasmanian Artillery, 66; Tasmanian Engineers, 39; Mounted Infantry, 48; First Battalion Tasmanian Infantry, 302; Southern Tasmanian Cadets, 128. Total, 607. The march into town was commenced amidst tremendous cheering and (so far as the perspiring crowd was concerned) most inspiriting disorder. At the city boundary--the corner of Park and Liverpool streets-- the Mayor and Aldermen were waiting. Major Cameron drew up on his grey charger, and the Mayor read an address. The Mayor read excellently, with undisguised emotion. Major Cameron sat motionless as a statue in bronze, with only a little flicker at the temple as indication of emotion at all. As the Mayor finished, the crowd pressed dangerously from the rear, and the Major mentioned that he would reply later. The address was as..

Download or read book Settlers War and Empire in the Press written by Sam Hutchinson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how public commentary framed Australian involvement in the Waikato War (1863-64), the Sudan crisis (1885), and the South African War (1899-1902), a succession of conflicts that reverberated around the British Empire and which the newspaper press reported at length. It reconstructs the ways these conflicts were understood and reflected in the colonial and British press, and how commentators responded to the shifting circumstances that shaped the mood of their coverage. Studying each conflict in turn, the book explores the expressions of feeling that arose within and between the Australian colonies and Britain. It argues that settler and imperial narratives required constant defending and maintaining. This process led to tensions between Britain and the colonies, and also to vivid displays of mutual affection. The book examines how war narratives merged with ideas of territorial ownership and productivity, racial anxieties, self-governance, and foundational violence. In doing so it draws out the rationales and emotions that both fortified and unsettled settler societies.

Download or read book The Boer War written by Fred R. van Hartesveldt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-05-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years after the Boer War, the British continue to debate what went wrong, while the war has significant nationalist overtones in today's South Africa. This book examines changes in interpretations of the war and provides a bibliography of major sources on the Boer War, now sometimes called the South African War. The bibliography focuses on the military history, but also includes some historical accounts of the political debate. The first part of the book provides an extended historiographical essay, while part two provides an annotated bibliography of the titles discussed in part one. Historiographical questions concerning the Boer War are numerous. Discussions of military operations focus on the early use of modern weaponry and the effect of guerrilla tactics on a traditional force, while other historians debate the question of British military leadership and organization. Questions also revolve around British imperialism and the scramble for Africa. Frequently called the second war for freedom by South African authors, the war was the reason that South Africa, unlike other British colonies, gained independence without majority rule. This makes the war of continuing relevance to the turmoil in South Africa, the collapse of the minority government, and the continuing problems of the current government. This book will provide a useful tool for those wishing to research the war.
