HENRY HACKING STORY

You have the opportunity preview the story of Henry Hacking, quartermaster on HMS Sirius on her voyage to New South Wales with the First Fleet. Most of the detail in this story is grounded on sound historical fact, but the genre is Historical Fiction.

This is the first part of the trilogy and free. Contact me for the rest of the story. I would appreciate your feedback.

About Moments in Time

Moments in Time is created by Harry Roberts, a retired teacher who has a passion for history of all kinds, but particularly Australian and Geelong History. Stories reflect his interest areas and his desire to educate people about our past. His emphasis has been on Geelong’s history, but the creative non fiction eBook of Henry Hacking covers the period from the preparation of the First Fleet to the settlement and development of Hobart.
