Biography & Memoir History Australiana
James Bonwick’s The Bushrangers Illustrating the Early Days of van Diemen’s Land brings the wild colonial era of Tasmania to life through vivid true stories of outlaws and settlers. This 1967 facsimile edition from Fullers Bookshop preserves the 19th-century original, making it a collectible slice of Australian history for antiquarian enthusiasts and local-history buffs alike.
The compact 95-page paperback is clean and unmarked inside; pages remain crisp, free of writing, dog-ears or tears, and the binding is tight. Outside, the vintage cover shows gentle scuffs and a small corner stain, while the page edges carry light marks—honest wear that suits the book’s character without obscuring readability.
Ideal for adults and curious teens, this accessible narrative blends biography, geography and economic insight into a fast-moving account of convict escapees and frontier life. A smoke-free home keeps the paper fresh, ready to sit proudly on any Australiana or bushranger shelf.
