Port Arthur 1830 to 1877 by Ian Brand provides a comprehensive historical account of the Port Arthur penal settlement in Tasmania, one of the most infamous convict sites in Australia. The book examines the establishment, development, and eventual closure of the settlement, highlighting its role within the broader British penal system. Brand explores the daily lives of convicts, the strict discipline and punishment regimes, and the innovative yet often harsh reform measures introduced during this period.
