In the eighty years between 1787 and 1868, over 160,000 men, women, and children were sentenced to be transported beyond the seas for a wide range of crimes, from picking pockets to murder. These convicts were destined to serve out their sentences in Australia, the empire's most remote colony. Convicts in the Colonies: A Century of British Convict Transportation to Australia tells the story of this history through vivid real-life case studies and famous tales of the exceptional and extraordinary. Using the latest original research, the book reveals a fascinating century-long history of British convicts unlike any other. It covers everything from crime and sentencing in Britain to the perilous voyage to Australia and life in each of the three main penal colonies: New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land, and Western Australia. The book charts the lives and experiences of the men and women who crossed the world and underwent one of the most extraordinary punishments in history.
