Australians have always had a soft spot for the daring bushrangers of last century with their contempt for organised Authority. This book looks at the most notorious of Australia's bushrangers - men who were fugitives from the law, who robbed, stole stock and sometimes killed.

The book features; 
 * lively and informative text;
 * historical drawings and engravings throughout;
 * clear maps indicating the main areas of bushranger activity;
 * popular poems, expressing the sentiment of 'bushranger as hero'

Australian Bushrangers describes the exploits of well-remembered characters such as Ben Hall, Captain Moonlight and Ned Kelly, as well as less well-known but equally daring bushrangers, such as Mad Dan Morgan, William Westwood (Jacky-Jacky) and the Clarke Gang.

Australian Bushrangers is an ideal resource for school projects.
