Secondhand. Very good condition. Ex library copy with all external stickers removed. Stamps and writing on inside pages. Barcodes on back cover. Protective plastic covering. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Irish-born O'Reilly was convicted of political conspiracy in England and sentenced to 20 years. After spending several years in English jails, he and other Fenians were transported to Western Australia in 1867 on the last convict ship sent to Australia.

Approximately two years later, he escaped and fled to America on a whaling ship, the Catalpa. In Boston, he became a prominent literary figure. Many of his poems contain references to Australia. He is one of the earliest poets associated with Western Australia.
