Description: This is the story of Patrick, James and John Connery, rebels against agrarian practices in County Waterford in the early 1830's. Their arrests, trials & escapes from jail made them folk heroes, but they finally were transported as convicts to New South Wales (James in 1835; Patrick and John in 1838). Their story covers eighty years and embraces the histories of both Ireland and New South Wales.
