Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to top and right foredges. Dust jacket has minor creasing at top and tail. Fading of spine. Binding is still very good.

Wild Colonial Boys takes us to the daredevil days of bushranging when audacious gangs won notoriety for their crimes in Australia's "wild west".

In the tough lands of the Lachlan, the Murrumbidgee and the rugged Abercrombie Ranges, the 1860s were stirring times of exploration, pioneering development and the frantic delirium and turmoil of the gold rushes. These were also days of rebellion, lawlessness and reckless courage when the hero was the man who dodged the law by dodging his squatting tax, duffing cattle or breaking prison bonds.

From this background emerged men like Frank Gardiner, Jonny Gilbert, Ben Hall and Mad Dog Mogan. Frank Clune in telling their story, traces the development of the society which produced the bushranging generation and through his painstaking research and his warm-hearted colloquial style, gives a vivid insight into a vanished phase of Australian life.
