Launceston – History of an Australian City | John Reynolds | 1969 [USED – HCDJ – Good]

John Reynolds's history of Launceston — the city at the head of the Tamar River in northern Tasmania, founded in 1806 and Tasmania's second city.

Reynolds covers the full arc of Launceston's history from its establishment through the colonial period, the development of its commercial and civic life, its industries and institutions, and its character as a city that grew up largely independently of the capital Hobart — with its own distinct identity shaped by its river, its Georgian streetscape and its northern Tasmanian hinterland.

At 192 pages with black and white photographs and maps, this is a compact but thorough general history of the city — a useful reference for anyone researching Launceston's past or wanting a clear account of how the city developed.
