T.Y.S.O.N.
"T.Y.S.O.N." is a poem by Banjo Paterson, first published in The Australasian Pastoralists' Review on 15 December 1898.[1] The subject of the poem was James Tyson, who had died early that month. The poem highlighted his good points and eccentricities.[1]
James Tyson (8 April 1819 – 4 December 1898) was an Australian pastoralist and is regarded as Australia's first self-made millionaire. Unmarried and without children, he died intestate in 1898 and his extensive holdings were sold off and divided among his closest relatives.
