Paperback octavo, very good condition, cover design mimics vintage book, few tables, minor edgewear. 154 pp. The author W. F. Refshauge adopts an analytical rather than a narrative approach to examining the confrontation between Aborigines and settlers at Risdon Cover on 3 May 1804, the first site for Hobart (later abandoned). A disputed number of Aborigines, perhaps 3 to 50, were killed. The aim is to remove as much unreliable matter as possible, yielding a more informed perspective on the unfortunate killings on that day. (A printed copy of a POD book. Cover design mimics vintage book.).
