AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'1788. At 20 years old, Mary Bryant was sentenced to death for highway robbery, and left to rot in prison. Eventually she was transported to the wilderness of New South Wales.

'When the First Fleet arrived at Sydney Cove in 1788, a life of misery and servitude awaited her. Three years later Mary escaped.

'This is Mary Bryant’s story. It is an English story. It is an Australian story. It is one of the most daring escapes in history. ' (Publication summary)
