(Only Vol 1offered here.) Bushranging was unique to Australia and began soon after the first convicts were able to escape and secure a horse and gun.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, the first of its kind, explores the prevalence of bushranging in 19th century Australia as a reaction to unjust and oppressive laws. It charts the lives and times of the numerous bushrangers of the era, men of varied backgrounds united by their fight against a repressive regime. The author provides personal characteristics of leading gang members to shed light on their motivations. By following one gang's career from beginning to end, the author weaves a story as compelling as it is horrifying. From petty theft to highway robbery and murder, the bushrangers' influence ranged from minor nuisance to major threat. The book reveals bushrangers as products of their environment and exposes the brutality to which prisoners were subjected in the penal colonies. In detailing the measures taken to suppress bushranging, the author reveals the futility of brute force against hardened men fighting for freedom. The book's examination of contemporary attitudes and the shocking treatment of convicts and Aborigines provides a unique insight into a chapter of history defined by the tension between authority and the desperate struggle for liberty. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
