Identity: Larry Cummins, Bushranger

Peter Long

It's 1850 and New South Wales, Australia is awash with gold. Bushrangers are in the press, their names on everyone's lips: Ben Hall, Frank Gardiner, John Peisley, Dan Morgan, Captain Thunderbolt. They roam free, uninhibited, spending big in the shanties. The girls love them, these wild boys.

Teenager, Larry Cummins, decides to throw his hand in with them. He'll think about consequences later.

Bail the coach. Grab the bank's cash. Scarper. Take the bullets, the whips, societal stings. If you weaken you die...

A tale of adventure, love, tragedy and redemption, touchingly told by Larry Cummins' great-grandson, multi-award-winning author, Peter Long.

Identity: Larry Cummins, Bushranger, is literary historical fiction inspired by a real story.
