Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bushrangers were originally escaped convicts in the early years of British settlement of Australia who used the bush as a refuge to hide from the authorities. By the 1820s the term had evolved to refer to those who took up "robbery under arms" as a way of life, using the bush as their base, equivalents of the British highwayman, or the outlaws of America's Wild West. Their crimes tyically included robbing small-town banks and coach services, and some of the more notorious cases, including those related to Australia's best-known bushranger, Ned Kelly, involved the murder of numerous policemen. The author of this history made extensive use of newspaper reports of the time to tell the story of the various gangs. First published in 1899 and reprinted from the third edition of 1908.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Australian Bushrangers In this story of the bushrangers I do not pretend to have included the names of all those who have at various times been called bushrangers in Australia. That, as will be seen from what I have said in the earlier chapters, would be not merely impossible but useless. I believe, however, that I have collected some particulars about all those who succeeded in winning even a local notoriety, and I have also endeavoured to supply such personal characteristics of the leaders in the movement as may throw some light on the causes which induced them to "take to the bush." My principal object, however, has been to make the picture as complete as possible, so that the magnitude of the social evil which the Australians set themselves to cure may be realised; and it is generally believed in Australia that this cure has been so complete that bushranging will never again become epidemic. The story is a terrible one. Some of the incidents related are no doubt revolting, but it is necessary that even these should be told to show how civilised man may be degraded by unjust and oppressive laws. We are all creatures of the educational influences to which we are subjected in our youth, and therefore it is unfair to blame the earlier bushrangers; because they were the products of the civilisation of their day, and were not themselves responsible. But sensational as the story is, its tendency is rather to depress than to exhilarate the reader, for the story is a sad one, in that it shows a deplorable waste of what under happier conditions might have been useful lives.

Download or read book The Bushrangers written by Evan McHugh and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2011-07-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first convict runaways to the spectacular showdown that ended Ned Kelly's career, Evan McHugh delivers true tales of daring exploits and a cast of roguish characters who blazed their place into Australian history. These are incredible stories of the men - and women - who achieved fame not just by what they did, but by the way they did it, many of them lifting themselves from downtrodden underdogs to self-made heroes. There are heroic figures like Cash and Company, the prince of bushrangers Matthew Brady, Bold Jack Donohue, brave Ben Hall, Captain Thunderbolt and of course, Ned Kelly. But there are also villains like Pearce the Cannibal, Jeffries the Monster and 'Mad Dog' Morgan. Bushrangers is as fast paced as a stolen thoroughbred and as arresting as a squad of troopers. Through extensive first-hand accounts and gripping detail about Australia's lawless past, bestselling author Evan McHugh brings a fresh perspective to a turbulent era of crime, defiance and emerging Australia identity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Australian Bushrangers Hitherto the histories of Australia have passed very lightly over the bushrangers, but there can be no doubt that they exercised some influence, and not always for evil, for to their influence is due some of the sturdy Republicanism of the modern Australians. The publication of this story may perhaps assist the future historian in tracing the growth of public opinion in Australia, and will therefore not be without its use. It is in this hope that I submit it to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a sequel to the first volume. The book is set during the period of bushranging in Australia. Excerpt: For some time after the robbery of the Escort at Eugowra Rocks, Hall, Gilbert, and O'Meally kept away from their usual haunts; but were by no means idle during their temporary seclusion, and not a few cases of "sticking-up" in lonely parts of the bush roads in the Lachlan district were, not without reason, charged against one or other of them by the authorities and the public. While the fate of their late companions—Mann, Bow, and Fordyce—was hanging in the balance they were arranging fresh plots under the very noses of the police. As in the case of Gardiner, a perfect system of "bush telegraphy" had been established in every locality where their friends resided; and as they invariably moved with a given object from their hiding places, and either returned direct to the place from which they had started or made for some other friendly shelter in another direction, they were always in touch with their "telegraphs" and were thus kept posted in every movement made by the force whose aim it was to capture them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveys the history of bushranging in Australia. From the initial, brutal days of European settlement and our first convict - bushranger Black Caesar in 1789 to the capture and death of legendary folk hero Ned Kelly in 1880.An aura of romance surrounds the idea of Australian bushrangers. The passage of time has invested the most celebrated of them with a kind of swashbuckling dash; they are often portrayed as men who pitted their wits and skills against the dangers and privations of life on the run and the superior resources of an unjust and oppressive regime.
