The Tasmanians – The Story of a Doomed Race | Robert Travers | 1968 [USED – HCDJ – Good]

Robert Travers's 1968 account of the fate of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania — from first European contact through the Black War and the removal of the surviving population to Flinders Island, to the death of Truganini in 1876. Published in 1968, this is a vintage history of its era — it reflects the understanding and approach to Aboriginal Tasmanian history that was current at that time, before the more critical and rigorous scholarship of recent decades.
