Thomas Rogers (1806-1903) was a religious instructor on Norfolk Island from 1845 to 1847. His clashes with those in authority led to his recall to Tasmania. He was especially critical of the commandant John Price. Rogers was the model for the Rev. James North in Marcus Clarke's 'For the Term of his Natural Life'. - Scope and ContentLetterbook containing copies of letters sent and copies of letters received, together with a small number of original letters received. Correspondents include commandants Major Joseph Childs and John Price, magistrate Samuel Barrow, comptroller general J.S. Hampton and convict William Henry Barber.
