- Summary:
-
A comprehensive history of North Eastern Tasmania and its people. This book is probably the only one of its kind, written in the early 20th century by a person living at that time (the Hon. A.W. Loone), because of this, 'Tasmania's North East' makes very interesting reading, and has been read in the 'present tense' on current history and facts about the early North East, the reader feels present at the time. The history of the state is very largely the history of the men and women who went into the wilderness and battled the elements to establish themselves in a difficult environment. Includes men who enlisted from various municpalities and saw service overseas in the Great War 1914-1919. Parliamentarians are listed, aboriginals are noted as well.
