Shadow Over Tasmania - The Whole Story Of The Convicts
By Coultman Smith
Setup & Printed by J. Walch & Sons Pty Ltd: Hobart 1951 8th Edition

" Shadow Over Tasmania - The Whole Story of the Convicts by Coultman Smith is a compelling and accessible account of Tasmania's convict era, tracing the origins, experiences, and legacy of those transported to Van Diemen's Land. First published in the 1920s and continuously reprinted due to enduring demand, this 1951 eighth edition reflects the work's status as one of the most widely read introductions to Australia's penal history. Smith writes with clarity and narrative momentum, guiding readers through the brutality of early settlement, the major penal stations, notable personalities, and the social transformation that occurred as the island emerged from its convict past.

Printed by J. Walch & Sons of Hobart, this edition preserves the book's reputation as an informative, engaging, and often vivid retelling of a complex chapter in Australian heritage. Its mixture of historical detail, anecdote, and storytelling makes it both a readable overview and an important reminder of the foundations upon which modern Tasmania was built. This volume will appeal to collectors of Australian colonial history, enthusiasts of convict studies, and readers interested in the human stories that shaped early Australia."
