Publisher's Synopsis
""Notes of an Exile to Van Dieman's Land"" is a memoir written by Linus Wilson Miller in 1846. The book describes Miller's experiences during his exile to Van Dieman's Land (present-day Tasmania) for his involvement in the Chartist movement in England. Miller vividly depicts the harsh living conditions, brutal treatment by authorities, and the struggles of the early settlers in Van Dieman's Land. He also provides insights into the indigenous people and their culture, as well as the natural beauty of the island.
