Book Overview

The Life and Adventures of William Buckley is a non-fiction book written by John Morgan and first published in 1852. The book tells the story of William Buckley, a British convict who escaped from a penal settlement in Australia in 1803 and lived among the indigenous people of the area for 32 years.
