Everyone knows Australia was once a penal colony, but few realize that New Zealand prisoners were sent there. During the mid-nineteenth century at least 110 people were transported from New Zealand to serve time as convict laborers in the penal colony of Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania).

In examining the remarkable experiences of unremarkable people, this fascinating book provides insights into the lives of people at the time.
