Robbery Under Arms

Published in 1882, 'Robbery Under Arms' by Rolf Boldrewood is a fictional account of the Marston family's experiences with cattle duffing, horse stealing, and bushranging in the New South Wales outback. The narrative, while fictionalized, is rooted in real events and local color, as noted by the author himself. Boldrewood's work is significant for its vivid portrayal of Australian life and its influence on the bushranger genre in literature.
