Interesting and sad. I didn’t expect to go down that path when I started this - I just wanted to know how Tom Rowley got his name and whether he had any relationship with the Rowley family, or influence on how John Rowley later taught himself Aboriginal languages.
You made the story less sad, in my opinion, by writing about him. I'm halfway around the world, in Florida, and I've learned the name of Tom Rowley and that he was a decent man whose life was cut short by some evil. I also learned that in that time period, justice sometimes prevailed.
Very interesting history. Thank you for taking the time to write.
