expansionism, burgeoning empires, colonization, crime, punishment, surviving the seas in the 1800s ...making such interesting subjects boring is a crime. seven years of transportation for the author! ...with swift granting of a ticket-of-leave and the chance to build a new life in a new world.
this book covered a number of interesting characters and their stories. and was informative. but the writing was drier than the australian outback. sheesh.
