Biography
Biographies and memoirs of the people who shaped Tasmania – settlers, pioneers, convicts, politicians, farmers, mariners and ordinary Tasmanians whose life stories were written down. Many of these are self-published or small-run family histories that are genuinely hard to find elsewhere, alongside more widely published biographies of well-known Tasmanian figures.

The Straitsfolk - John Scott and his Tasmanian Aboriginal Family, David Howie and his Aboriginal Associates
British sealer John Scott arrived in Bass Strait in 1806 and had children with at least three Tasmanian Aboriginal women, fathering at least nine children before drowning off King Island in 1843. Scottish-born David Howie, appointed Constable of the Straits, patrolled Bass Strait and King Island; in 1845 he played a key role in the aftermath of the Cataraqui disaster. This book traces the lives and Tasmanian Aboriginal descendants of both men, drawing together family trees, John Scott's own diary, and the wider Bass Strait sealing community of the 19th century.
