In 1886, a notorious gang of horsemen wreaked havoc on the
Overlanders' Trail that stretched across the Northern Territory into
the wild Kimberley region. They stole cattle with audacity, brazenly
held up pubs and cattle stations, and drove a herd of stolen horses
with unmatched daring. As part of the Halls Creek goldrush, these men
became infamous as the Ragged Thirteen.
Dubbed by some as the 'Tea and Sugar Bushrangers' and by others as
'the scum of the four colonies, fugitives from justice,' the Ragged
Thirteen were more than outlaws. They were brilliant horsemen,
masterful bushmen, lovers of bush poetry, and champions of the
underdog.
In this gripping, meticulously researched tale, Derek Pugh uncovers
the real story of the Ragged Thirteen, following their 138-year-old
trail across the rugged Top End. Their story isn't just history; it's
an adventure.
