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.

Download or read book Reminiscences of Early Hobart Town 1804 1810 written by John Pascoe Fawkner and published by Banks Society Publications. This book was released on 2012 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Pascoe Fawkner arrived in the Derwent with David Collins’ party in February 1804, and watched the birth of the settlement and its fight to survive during its e arly years. More than sixty years later he returned to Hobart Town to interview its early pioneers and to prepare his memoirs of those times.Fawkner’s memories were not always accurate (he was a boy when he arrived), and some of his accounts of events were based on hearsay or oral history. Nevertheless, his memoir is a valuable historical record, containing much information not found elsewhere. Unlike most other surviving accounts of early Hobart Town, it is written from the perspective of the free settler, and provides an insight into many aspects of daily life: encounters with Aborigines and bushrangers; fire, starvation and other hard ships of life on the land.It reflects what ordinary people thought, felt or believed, and adds a valuable human dimension to the scanty official records of the period.
