Written by Arthur William Loone (1857–1936), a Tasmanian Legislative Councillor for South Esk from 1910 who later died in Scottsdale, this book draws on first-hand knowledge of the district. It covers the discovery of gold and tin, the North-East's mines and railways, biographical details of the pioneers of its various districts, and honour rolls of the men who enlisted from North-East municipalities to serve overseas in the First World War. Originally published in 1928; this is a 1981 reprint.
