CONVICTS: THE PENAL SETTLEMENTS THAT CREATED AUSTRALIA - BOOK 9780864271211

Description: Australian Timelines: CONVICTS The Story of the Penal Settlements That Created Australia Kenneth Muir The story of modern Australia’s beginnings is inextricably linked to 160 000 people who came to the land as convicts. Here we see how a nation was founded not on free settlement or immigration but by criminal offenders who were transported to a ‘land beyond the sea’ where many went on to create new lives for themselves. Follow the story of greed, brutality, inhumanity, and occasional decency as a small group of people learn to cope with an environment utterly alien to them. This is how Australia grew into a prosperous nation from the cheap labour of so many hapless convicts who had little say in their destiny. Size 275 x 210 mm, 48 pages, colour throughout, pictures, maps, illustrations. Softcover Published by Trocadero Publishing ISBN 9780864271211
