Description
In the 1860s frontier of the New South Wales interior, bushrangers ruled the roads, sparking terror into the lives of settlers. Hold ups were common, theft was an everyday occurrence. Australia has a fair share of famous miscreants from Ned Kelly to Ben Hall and much has been written about their exploits. This book takes a deep dive into the life of one that is lesser known, that of John Peisley. Known as our first Australian born Bushranger, John Peisley's short life reads like a chronicle of crime over a period of about 10 years. Eventually he would find his fate at the gallows, being hung for the crime of murder. Was this fair justice? Read about his life, his beginnings and the events that lead to his death. Decide if John Peisley can be described as leading a life of crime, or was it the crime of life.
