Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Tiny tear to spine tail now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are also very good.

The Australian bushrangers were an unlikely mixture of wild reckless, romantic or desperate men.

Here are the real stories of the famous Kellys, Ben Hall, Martin Cash, Matthew Brady, Captain Melville, Thunderbolt, Gardiner's gang and the Clarke brothers.

Here too, are the exploits of lesser-known but equally intriguing bandits - Edward Davis, the Jewish bushranger; the Chinese bushranger Coonabarabran, Aplin McPherson, the apprentice stonemason who terrorised Queensland, Fred Lowry, who died uttering the immortal plea 'Tell'em I died game'.
