Convicts in the colonies
Williams, Lucy, (Lucy E.)2019
Book
In the 80 years between 1787 and 1868 more than 160,000 men, women and children convicted of everything from picking pockets to murder were sentenced to be transported 'beyond the seas'. These convicts were destined to serve out their sentences in the empire's most remote colony: Australia. Through vivid real-life case studies and famous tales of the exceptional and extraordinary, this book narrates the history of convict transportation to Australia - from the first to the final fleet.
