SPROD, Dan.
The Usurper: Jorgen Jorgenson and his turbulent life in Iceland and Van Diemen's Land, 1780-1841.
Blubber Head Press Hobart 2001 1000 copies, case-bound in buckram, with illustrated dustwrapper. 240x176mm. xiv, 718pp, 9 colour & 56 b/w illustrations, 5 maps. ISBN 0908528299 ***This important new book includes the full text of Jorgenson's hitherto unpublished account of the 'revolution' in Iceland in 1809, in which he was briefly installed as 'Protector' - and which was the source of the name by which he is known to Tasmania history - the 'Convict King'. Jorgenson's adventurous life - and his often unreliable accounting of it - are examined in meticulous detail.
