The biography of the Reverend George Eastman — a Church of England clergyman who served for 26 years in parishes across Van Diemen's Land during the final decades of the transportation era, and whose final posting was to Port Arthur. Eastman took an unfashionable view for his time: that convicts could be reformed, and that religious instruction, education and practical training were the means to achieve it.
