- Summary:
-
“The epitaph on Reverend George Eastman’s grave at Isle of the Dead says George was, for twenty-six years, the faithful chaplain on Tasmania’s Peninsula and at other institutions. The account of George’s life and work in Van Dieman’s Land in the mid to late 1880s reveals a determined, witty and compassionate pastor and family man, sometimes controversial, sometimes contrite, always diligent. It was George’s firm belief that religious instruction, education and training were keys to convict reform and he set to work with vigour to prove his assertion.”--Back cover.
