      abstract = {A new perspective on a dramatic moment in Australian  colonial history. October 1830 Rebelling from years of  maltreatment and starvation, a band of Ribbon Boys liberate  eighty convicts from Bathurst farms and lead them inland  towards freedom. Governor Darling, fearing that others  would also rise up, sends the 39th Regiment in pursuit.  Three bloody battles follow, but to whom will justice be  served? Rich with detail, Bone and Beauty fuses archival  evidence and narrative technique to tell the gripping story  of the Ribbon Boys and their reputed leader Ralph  Entwistle. For the first time, the influence of Irish  secret societies, the scale of oppression and corruption,  and the complex web of criminal and family relationships  behind these events are revealed.},
