Mary Proctor: Convict, Pioneer and Settler by Jeff Atkinson

Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition.

This is the story of a woman transported to Australia as a convict in the 1820s. While not a significant historical figure, she represents the thousands of people, mainly convicts and former convicts, who settled in Australia in the first wave of white migration. She was personally involved in two of the most important episodes in Australia's history - the convict era and the gold rushes of the nineteenth century.
