Patsy Cameron is descended from the great Aboriginal clansman Mannalargenna and this book deals with the history of the Aboriginal group that he led that were the original inhabitants of north east Tasmania. The area was colonised by sealers, and Aboriginal women were taken to the Bass Strait Islands and the two cultures blended. This book is an invaluable contribution to Tasmania's historical tradition, focusing attention on placescapes where modern Tasmanian Aboriginal culture was born.
