In the early 19th century a small number of European men moved from the river towns of northern Tasmania onto the small islands of Eastern Bass Strait. Taking Aboriginal women as their wives they set up small island homes on what became the colonial sea frontier. Did this spell the demise of some of the clans, or, conversely, did it ensure the survival of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people?. Signed by Author. First Edition. Soft Cover. Fine. Small 4to.
