A History of Dover & Port Esperance Tasmania – Volume 2: Later Years 1875–1925 | Norm Beechey & Dorothy Baker | 2000 [USED – SC – Worn]

The second volume in Norm Beechey and Dorothy Baker's history of Dover and Port Esperance, covering the later years from 1875 to 1925.

This volume picks up where Volume 1 left off — documenting the development of the district through the sawmilling era, apple growing and the challenges of codlin moth, the trade union movement in the timber industry, the extension of the electric telegraph, the local steamers Ivy, Reliance and Dover that connected the community to Hobart, WWI soldiers from the district, the Spanish flu, whaling from Port Esperance, and the eucalyptus oil distillation industry.

At 172 indexed pages with black and white photographs, this covers a half-century of remarkable change in a small southern Tasmanian community.

Volume 1 — covering the earliest years 1845–1875 — is also commonly available from The Book Cellar.
