A Complete Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson is a historical book written by Watkin Tench, an officer of the British Marines who was part of the First Fleet that arrived in Australia in 1788. The book provides a detailed and firsthand account of the early days of the British settlement at Port Jackson (now Sydney), including the arrival of the First Fleet, the establishment of the colony, and the interactions between the British and the Indigenous people. Tench's writing is vivid and descriptive, and he provides a fascinating insight into the challenges and hardships faced by the early settlers, including food shortages, disease, and conflicts with the Indigenous people. He also describes the natural environment of the area, including the flora and fauna, and the ways in which the settlers adapted to their new surroundings. Overall, A Complete Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on the early days of Australian history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Australia, colonialism, or the interactions between Indigenous people and European settlers.If it be recollected how large a body of these people are now congregated in the settlement of Port Jackson and at Norfolk Island, it will, I think, not only excite surprise but afford satisfaction, to learn, that in a period of four years few crimes of a deep dye or of a hardened nature have been perpetrated. Murder and unnatural sins rank not hitherto in the catalogue of their enormities, and one suicide only has been committed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
