This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few Canadians and Americans, let alone Australians, would realize that Canadians and Americans were among those transported as convicts to Australia. Their collective name was known as the ‘Canadian Patriots’, or ‘Patriotes’, and there might have been up to 200 of them. These were among the Canadian ‘rebels’ who fought against the British crown 1837-1838. The French from Lower Canada never did accept British rule, for after all it was a colony of France before the British defeated France on the Plains of Abraham at Quebec City. Then there were many well-meaning Americans who wanted to get rid of the British. The rebellions against the British were easily defeated, the Patriots lacking the discipline and organisation of the British troops. The Canadians were essentially made up of two groups: * First, there were the ‘rebels’ from Upper Canada, which is now the province of Ontario, and were mainly British Canadians and Americans who joined the rebellion. They were sent to Van Diemen’s Land. * Second, there were the ‘rebels’ from Lower Canada, now the province of Quebec, and these were in the main French Canadians. They were disembarked for five days at Hobart Town and then sent on to Sydney. Within five years most had either won pardons or had escaped. Overall, they were more highly educated than the normal convict, and many wrote of their experiences. We are particularly knowledgeable about the Canadian convicts who were on the HMS Buffalo 1839-1840, though some came on other ships. On board the Buffalo were eighty-two American patriots who had crossed the border through sympathy with the anti-British rebellion, fifty-eight were French prisoners from Lower Canada, and five were civil prisoners. Three French and nine English Canadians and Americans wrote memoirs or narratives of their experiences in Australia. Selections from these narratives are presented to show how they were treated, most would say as slaves.

Download or read book To the Outskirts of Habitable Creation written by Stuart D. Scott and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of American historys lost stories, To the Outskirts of Habitable Creation is the fascinating account of American and Canadian convicts exiled to an Australian penal colony. In 1837 an armed rebellion at Toronto against the colonial administration of British Canada spilled across the border, and U.S. citizens joined the cause. The so-called Patriot War kept the frontier in a climate of fear and uncertainty as a series of battles in Canadian territory continued throughout 1838 in the hope of instigating political change. With the failure of each attempt to cross into Canada and revive the Rebellion, combatants were taken into custody. Trials resulted in hangings, acquittals, or pardons. One group of ninety-two prisoners, however, was sentenced to penal transportation for life in Australias far distant island of Van Diemens Land (Tasmania). Drawing on a wide variety of letters, diaries, and personal reminiscences, the author tells the story through the experiences of men and women who lived it. To the Outskirts... is more than the story of the Rebellion of 1837. It is also the story of one womans tenacious audacity that saved some of the men facing the gallows for their actions in the conflict.
