(1800-1851)

Arriving in Van Diemen's Land in 1833, Charles O'Hara Booth was appointed Commandant of the Port Arthur penal settlement,a position he held until 1844.

Booth began his journal in 1815 at the age of fourteen, and continued to record his activities until his marriage in 1838. The concentration of material relates to his life at Port Arthur in Van Diemen's Land. The entries are almost daily.

Detailed notes, a bibliography,index,illustrations and a map complement the text.
