Excerpt from book review by David C. Bradley:
... The book details a small, but crucial segment of our Ontario history, the Rebellion of November 1837 to November 1838. It also includes a brief account of a Mason, who fell afoul of the law and was deported to Van Diemen’s Land...
.... On first taking up the book I groaned inwardly because I noticed a plethora of quotations within the text. Upon further reading, it became clear that the author, by a judicious selection of quotable material, had created a story with immediacy and poignancy. Most of the quotes were the actual words of prisoners and others associated with the events and the subsequent trials of the rebels. The book is a good read, particularly for those whose interest lies in the history of the beginnings of our Province.
For others who delight in masonic history, the story of Samuel Chandler, whose sentence of death was commuted to transportation for life to Van Diemen’s Land. He subsequently escaped from the penal colony and made his way to North America. It is a fascinating tale of the harshness of life
on a prison ship, of vermin and scurvy, of lack of food and of lashings for alleged or real disobedience. Also documented are the horrors of the chain gangs working on the docks at Hobarttown. Once again, the immediacy of emotion and the harshness of life were brought home to the reader by the first hand quotations. The reader will derive enjoyment from this account of the actual adventures of those intimately involved in the Niagara Rebellion.
