- Summary:
-
1864. Cornwall. In the wake of the Agricultural Revolution, Benjamin and Emma Bowden decide to emigrate. They are pawns in a much bigger scheme, which is to divest Britain of its poor and send them to Wakefield's Free-Colony of South Australia. During the long journey, the sailing ship is tossed like flotsam, and they eagerly disembark in Adelaide. Here they work on Samuel Davenport's farm. To make more money, they move to Moonta Mines, living on the mining lease, where danger is all around them.(supplied by publisher)
