Adventure

Robbery Under Arms

by Rolf Boldrewood

Dick Marston, in prison under sentence of death, tells how he and his brother fell in with the gentleman bushranger Captain Starlight: cattle-duffing, the goldfields and long rides ahead of the troopers. Rolf Boldrewood was the pen-name of Thomas Alexander Browne, a squatter who became a police magistrate and goldfields commissioner. It came out as a serial in the Sydney Mail in 1882 and 1883, and has hardly been out of print since.
