This easily read but well documented 514-page book is based on the original narratives of men transported to Tasmania for their part in what has become known as the Canadian Rebellion of 1837, or the Patriot War. The author and illustrator, who researched the story for over twenty years, include excepts from the contemporary narratives, official documents, letters, and log books.

"I was hurried away to the iron bound stone cell... My life I had never valued...
