A Short History of Ross – With Some Tales of the Pioneers | K.R. von Stieglitz | Reprint [USED – SC – Good]

K.R. von Stieglitz's short history of Ross — the historic Midlands town on the Macquarie River about 10 minutes south of Campbell Town, known for its Georgian streetscape, the convict-carved Ross Bridge (1836) and its position as one of the best-preserved colonial towns in Australia.

Von Stieglitz wrote numerous short histories of Tasmanian districts and towns in the mid-20th century — this is a reprint of his Ross history, covering the town's founding, its pioneer families and the stories of the early settlers who shaped the district.

At 50 indexed pages, a compact piece of Ross local history — useful for family historians with Ross connections and for visitors who want to understand what they are looking at when they walk the town.

Ross is also becoming known as a dark sky destination — the surrounding Midlands countryside offers some of the best stargazing conditions in Tasmania.
