Ebook: Musquito: Brutality and Exile: Aboriginal Resistance in New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land.

This book explores the legend of Musquito, a remarkably brutal warrior resistance leader in two theatres of colonial conflict. As a child Musquito saw the establishment of the British settlement in Sydney and learned the ways of the colonists. Banished to Norfolk Island as a young man, he was then transferred to Van Diemen's Land, where he played his part in the escalating violence between Indigenous people and European settlers and was hung in 1824 at the height of the conflict.
