To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The first European to be murdered by Tasmanian savages was a youth named George Munday, and the manner in which he was deceived illustrates the cunning and treachery of the natives, who were constantly at war among themselves, also with English settlers. A sav- age approached Munday apparently in quite a friendly manner without any weapons in his hands. In spite of such a friendly approach the native was contempla- ting murder, for, held between his toes, he trailed along the ground a sharply p
...ointed spear of very hard wood. This he suddenly transferred to his hand and launched with deadly effect when within striking distance.
For many years there was much ill-feeling and strife between black natives and white settlers, so that it seemed impossible for them to share the country. At various times settlers were murdered and their houses burned to the ground, but at the same time it should be said that the natives were not alwavs to blame ; for there were at that time many Tasmanian Woman with Neck- laces of Kangaroo Sinew and Shells.
