In Old Days And These And Other Stories (TASMANIAN HISTORY)
By "The Captain"

"In Old Days and These and Other Stories by "The Captain" is a collection of historical sketches and stories centered on Tasmania's colonial past. Drawing on personal memories, local lore, and historical events, the author paints a vivid picture of life in early Van Diemen's Land. The stories reflect the rugged character of early settlers, the challenges of frontier life, and the gradual development of communities across the island. With a keen eye for detail and a nostalgic tone, the author contrasts the simplicity and hardships of the "old days" with the changes and comforts of more modern times.

The book captures a wide range of experiences—from convict tales and bush adventures to reflections on old homesteads and forgotten figures of Tasmania's past. "The Captain" writes with affection for the land and its people, preserving fragments of Tasmanian heritage that might otherwise be lost. Blending anecdote with historical observation, the collection offers readers both entertainment and insight into the evolving identity of Tasmania, making it a valuable contribution to the island's literary and historical record."
