Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minimal edgewear.

Based on the writings of early settlers and troopers, this book recounts the story of Jack and his friends who were Truganini People from Tasmania.

They were brought from Tasmania to help "tame" the Victorian Aboriginal peoples. The group broke away from Robinson, the Aboriginal Protector to travel to the Port Phillip District.

Their fate was a brutal ending with the first public execution in Melbourne.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers please note that this book is based on an horrific event and may contain descriptions and/or images of people who have passed away.
