This is a wonderful true rendition of the life of a young soldier in 1790 evolving as an important pioneer of colonial Australia, somewhat ignored by historians over these last two hundred years. A 'rags to riches' story handled in riveting detail thereby helping our understanding of the dynamics of the colony during a transformational period.
