Format: epub
Size: 1.08 MB
Description: Six vividly told true stories of daring, desperate and dangerous escape attempts by colonial era convicts. Just how did Mary Bryant make it from Sydney to Timor in an open boat? And how did the murderous cannibal Alexander Pearce managed to escape not once, but twice, and with what dire consequences?
Based on original documents and accounts, this book is a story of human endeavour and resourcefulness-and those who'll fight for their liberty no matter the cost. First published in 1999; this revised edition was published in 2003.
