In 1790, Joseph Butler was sent as a convict to New South Wales on the "death fleet" transport Neptune. This account is based largely on historical records. It details his arrest and his trial at the Old Bailey, his life in Newgate Prison and on two prison hulks pending his deportation. It describes the horrors of the voyage. The colony was in its infancy. The natives were hostile and attacked the new settlements. Everything was in short supply. Grog became the local currency, threatening social order. Civilian officials were at loggerheads with the military officers. The Governors were hard-pressed to maintain control. Everyone had risked their future to make good in the new land. Emancipated in 1793, Joseph overcame many obstacles and made a new life as one of Australia's early settlers.
