The sixth title in William Stuart Long'd magnificent series, The Adventurers, continues the story of the pioneers who carved out a life for themselves in the rough and violent colony of New South Wales. The Colonists opens in 1823 and covers the administration of two military governors - General Sir Thomas Brisbane and General Ralph Darling. Neither of them can succeed in reconciling the two bitterly opposing factions in the young colony: the officials and free settlers and emancipated convicts and their progeny. Darling's severity and the appalling conditions in the penal settlements of Norfolk Island and Moreton Bay spark off a fierce newspaper campaign against him when they are brought to light: a campaign waged by William Charles Wentworth. Hardback Ed 1984, Double Day Books with Dust Jacket.
