History
Samuel Shumack was born in 1850 in County Cork, Ireland. His father, Richard Shumack was hired by George Campbell to work at Duntroon on his father Robert Campbell’s property. Shumack went to live at ‘Duntroon’ from 1856 and then at ‘Springvale’ in Weetangera from 1866 to 1940. He became a shepherd at age 16 and towards the end of his life he began to chronicle accounts of the lives of people in the Canberra-Queanbeyan region. He lived in the area until his death in 1940. His memoirs were published as Tales and Legends of Canberra Pioneers (ANU Press, 1967)
