THE UNCENSORED STORY OF MARTIN CASH

By Joan  Dehile Ember and Buck Thor Emberg

An Australian Bushranger

Martin Cash is a tribute to himself as perhaps to the only Australian convict outlaw who lived to die in his own bed.....of old age.

Martin Cash is a love story. It is a true story of daring and adventure and the will to survive. It is also one of the more important social documents of Australias convict era and colonial heritage.

The first ever complete version of Martin Cash's story as told by Cash himself to fellow convict, James Lester Burke, is a graphic revelation of the horrors and perversions of Nor folk Island, the bureaucratic and governmental corruption of Van Diemen's land, and the rural settlement and code of mateship of frontier New South Wales.

No one can read Martin Cash without being moved to laughter...and to tears... and to admiration for that unfortunate Irishman who defied this time.
