Closing Hell's Gates : the death of a convict station / Hamish Maxwell-Stewart

by Hamish Maxwell-Stewart

This historical account reconstructs life at the Sarah Island penal settlement between 1822 and 1834. It examines the brutal conditions that drove nine convicts to seek execution in 1827 rather than endure further hardship at the notorious Tasmanian site.
