About this book
This is the story of 45 000 Irish convicts (men and women) transported to Australia between 1791 and 1853. The book investigates the social background of the period and the procedures under which the accused were tried imprisoned and transported. A good number of them eventually became prosperous and influential. The Irish contribution to the making of Australia has been acknowledged and celebrated in recent times.
