Description
This is a true story. Its origins are in Ireland, it spreads for a considerable time into the bushland and colonial settlements of 1860s Australia, before travelling to the New Zealand goldfields and concludes, sadly, in a bar room altercation, in Colorado, USA. It is a story of outlaws (bushrangers), rustlers (cattle and horse thieves), gold seekers, stage coach robbers and prison breakouts – wrongdoers always in fear of the law.This is also a love story; a love of the outdoors, a warm campfire under moonlit skies, fresh breeze while riding horseback and of three beautiful sisters – Catherine, Bridget and Eleanor.Book one in the trilogy introduces Frank Gardiner, 19-year-old horse thief, felon and convicted escapee, who, tired of butcher’s work on the goldfields, and not willing to dig for the precious metal, turns to robbery under arms with a colourful band of outlaw accomplices, and female companions.
