Tasmania's Convicts - how felons built a free society

		(0 reviews)

To the convicts arriving in Van Diemen's Land, it must have felt as though they'd been sent to the very ends of the earth. In 'Tasmania's Convicts' Alison Alexander tells the history of the men and women transported to what became one of Britain's most notorious convict colonies. Following the lives of dozens of convicts and their families, she uncovers stories of success, failure, and everything in between. While some suffered brutal conditions, most served their time and were freed, becoming ordinary and peaceful citizens.

This is the out-of-print hardcover/dustjacket version of this title; the book is in USED but generally very good condition. Please contact the bookshop, Just Tassie Books at The Book Cellar, if you require additional detailed photos and description of condition before purchasing.
