Author: Bill Scott

Australians have always had a soft spot for the daring bushrangers of last century with their contempt for organised Authority. This book looks at the most notorious of Australia's bushrangers - men who were fugitives from the law, who robbed, stole stock and sometimes killed - and features:

- lively and informative text;
- historical drawings and engravings throughout;
- clear maps indicating the main areas of bushranger activity;
- popular poems, expressing the sentiment of "bushranger as hero".

The book describes the exploits of well-remembered characters such as Ben Hall, Captain Moonlight and Ned Kelly, as well as less well-known but equally daring bushrangers, such as Mad Dan Morgan, William Westwood (Jacky-Jacky), and the Clarke Gang.

Bill Scott provides a vivid insight into the lives, times and exploits of these men and those who hunted them. He also recounts tales of the Battle for Bathurst, and the Burragorang Valley (Terrible Hollow). 'Australian Bushrangers' is an ideal resource for school projects.
