A gripping work of Australian historical non-fiction, this volume chronicles the lives and exploits of the notorious bushrangers who roamed the colonial wilderness of nineteenth-century Australia, from the earliest convict escapees to the legendary outlaws who became folk heroes of the frontier. Geo. E. Boxall presents a vivid and authoritative account of figures such as Ned Kelly, Ben Hall, and Captain Thunderbolt, detailing the social conditions, rugged landscapes, and colonial injustices that gave rise to their defiant careers. Written with the narrative energy of a storyteller and the rigor of a historian, The Story of the Australian Bushrangers illustrates how these outlaws captured the imagination of a young nation and came to symbolize resistance against authority and the hardships of colonial life. Boxall's account remains an essential and enduring record of one of the most colorful and turbulent chapters in Australian history.
