The Bushrangers (eBook, ePUB)

Australia's greatest self-made heroes

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From the first convict runaways to the spectacular showdown that ended Ned Kelly's career, Evan McHugh delivers true tales of daring exploits and audacious deeds.

These are the incredible stories of men - and women - who achieved fame not just through what they did, but by the way they did it. There are those who lifted themselves from downtrodden underdogs to heroes, such as Bold Jack Donohue, brave Ben Hall and Captain Thunderbolt, as well as villains like Pearce the Cannibal and 'Mad Dog' Morgan.

Bushrangers is as fast paced as a stolen thoroughbred and as arresting as a squad of troopers. Through extensive first-hand accounts and gripping detail about Australia's lawless past, bestselling author Evan McHugh brings to life a cast of roguish characters who blazed their way into Australian history.
