Softcover. Etat : Very Good +. AUSTRALIANA - Bushrangers - Autobiography -Martin Cash is a tribute to himself as perhaps the only Australian convict outlaw who lived to die in his own bed . of old age. Martin Cash is a love story. It is a true story of daring and adventure and the will to survive. It is also one of the more important social documents of Australia's convict era and colonial heritage. The first-ever complete version of Martin Cash's story as told by Cash himself to fellow convict, James Lester Burke, ia a graphic revelation of the horrors and perversions of Norfolk Island, the bureaucratic and governmental corruption of Van Diemen's Land, and the rural settlement and code of mateship of frontier New South Wales. No one can read Martin Cah without being moved to laughter . and to tears . and to admiration for that unfortunate Irishman who defied his time. The story of Martin Cash is the result of the Emberg's deep interest in Tasmanian social and folk history. When they discovered the complete version of James Lester Burke's document deep in the archives of Hobart, their decision was made: to painfully transcribe 500 pages of faded copperplate and make it available to the public. 268 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. #090325 Cash, Martin, 1810-1877 Bushrangers -- Tasmania -- Biography Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
