A Tale of Ambition and Unrealised Hope - John Montagu & Sir John Franklin

Sir John Franklin arrived to govern Van Diemen's Land in 1837, already well known for his Arctic exploration, but with no experience of colonial administration. He succeeded Sir George Arthur, whose twelve years running the colony with a firm, practised hand left large shoes to fill — and Franklin soon found himself at odds with Arthur's own former Colonial Secretary, John Montagu, still deeply entrenched in the Hobart bureaucracy.
