The author has had a long interest in this numerically small, rare and important series of bushranger medals. Much has been written about bushrangers, but precious little on those who captured them and their rewards; this publication fills a much needed gap. The author has well researched his subject and gives a potted history of the recipients, details on the medal makers and lots of incidental information never before recorded. This publication is recommended to numismatists and those with an interest in nineteenth century Australian history.
