John West's History of Tasmania remains incomparably the best history of the early development of Van Diemen's Land.

A period of Tasmanian history from first settlement in 1803 to the middle 1800's saw two of the grimmest features of Australian colonisation:the treatment of the convicts sent to the penal settlements and the persecution and extermination of the Tasmanian Aborigines.
