Download or read book George Barrington's Voyage to Botany Bay written by George Barrington and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 2001 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shrewd publishers exploited the famous name and presented a seamless and colourful assemblage cut from official journals, revealing the extent of close contact with aboriginal peoples, the treatment of convicts and discovery of unusual plants and animals. Bearing all the hallmarks of authenticity, Barrington's account gained a singular place in popular contemporary travel and exploration literature, providing the foundation for a long series of embellished and illustrated histories. Botany Bay's reputation for cruel deprivation often overshadowed tales of opportunity presented to the talented. Barrington's revival as a reformed convict helped transform his own image, while the narrative's insights into the rigours of transportation, the struggle for survival and daily life in the penal colony initiated a lively convict travel literature."--BOOK JACKET.
