AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Described by Miller as 'a bushranging romance of more than ordinary merit, written in a light sparkling vein. The hero, transported for a trifling offence in the 'fifties, is badly treated as an assigned servant in the Bathurst district and turns bushranger to revenge himself against his tormentors.'

Notes

  • Dedication: To Mary Gilmore who suggested that I should write this story and Theodora Glasson who made it possible for me to write it.
  • Epigraph from Kipling's 'Song of the English'.
