This book focuses on the emergence and use of transportation as a means of dealing with this unwanted population, dwelling at length on the processes involved, the men charged with the administration of the system of transportation or engaged in transportation as a business, then proceeding with a fascinating look at the transportees themselves, their lives and hapless careers, and their reception in the colonies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Wilson Coldham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806317787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806317786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Genealogical Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Peter Wilson Coldham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926269264127,"sku":"9780806317786","price":25.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_76044bf6-ae03-4af0-a067-c0fc29b5bb53.jpg?v=1681082138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emigrants-in-chains-a-social-peter-wilson-coldham-9780806317786","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
