    Book Description:
    This book focuses on the men of the convict transport Eleanor, who arrived in New South Wales, Australia, in 1831. They were all from the counties of Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire and were transported for their part in the Swing riots—the great agricultural protest of 1830–1831. This episode, which spread across much of southern England and has been called the last peasants’ revolt, led to more than 480 people being sent to Australia.
