Australian Bushrangers: Ben Hall

Product Description

Ben Hall was sometimes referred to as the "gentleman bushranger". Although he was the son of poor ex-convicts, his early adult life looked promising. Then a series of misfortunes struck Hall and his path crossed that of the notorious bushranger Frank Gardiner.
Influenced by Gardiner and his gang, Ben Hall entered into a life of crime. Hall and his gang committed numerous robberies, many of which were violent. And yet for a time he was respected for his daring and courage by the public who admired him for outwitting the police. To some he was a brutal criminal; to others a hero.
