    Port Arthur – The Journal of Charles O’Hara Booth – Commandant of the Port Arthur Penal Settlement.

    A hard to find Tasmanian production. Published by the Tasmanian Historical Research Association in 1981.

    Slightly larger octavo, 298 pages, illustrated and a super fine copy

    Booth kept his almost daily diary for 23 years so there is so much about Port Arthur to make it the fundamental record of the goings on in the penal establishment.

    Real diary makes for interesting reading
