American Citizens, British Slaves

by Cassandra Pybus and Hamish Maxwell-Stewart

We hardly had our feet on the soil, when almost the first objects that greeted our vision were gibbets, and men toiling in the most abject misery, looking more degraded even than so many dumb beasts. Such sights, and the supposition that such might be our fate, served to sink the iron still deeper in our souls.

This book tells the strange story of almost a hundred United States citizens who were transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1839-40.
