Synopsis

Firsthand account of rebels, exile, and the fight for justice

A Canadian rebellion and its consequences unfold in the gripping memoir of Linus W. Miller. This book chronicles the wrongs faced by state prisoners and their transport to Van Dieman’s Land, offering a clear, moving view of life behind bars and the quest for fair treatment.

Two decades of exile, hardship, and reflection are presented in a steady, factual voice. You’ll see the legal debates, the harsh conditions, and the author’s personal perspective on justice, mercy, and the limits of power. The narrative blends historical detail with a personal account of endurance, making a difficult chapter of North American history accessible and compelling.

• Close look at trials, transportation, prison life, and the moral questions surrounding punishment
• Context on public opinion, governance, and the consequences of rebellion in the 1800s
• Reflections on liberty, humanity, and the limits of legal power in colonial settings

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
