4.9/5 (25007 ratings)

Description:In March 1787, Arthur Bowes Smyth took on the job of ship's surgeon aboard the Lady Penrhyn, one of the 11 ships of the First Fleet. He was responsible for the health and survival of the Lady Penrhyn's crew and for more than 100 women who had been sentenced to transportation. His journal provides a rare glimpse into the character and lives of the first women brought as convicts to Australia.As Bowes Smyth was neither a convict nor a member of the governing and military classes, he commented freely on everything from questions of early justice and administration to onboard feuds. We are able to read his firsthand accounts of life on the Lady Penryhn - tales of turmoil and debauchery, medical incidents and disease, births and deaths, wild weather, thwarted convict rebellions, appalling living conditions, outbreaks of scurvy, and cruel punishments. In First Fleet Surgeon, through Bowes Smyth's writings, David Hill brings to life the preparation of the fleet at Portsmouth, the eight month voyage to New South Wales, the first three months of settlement at Sydney Cove, and the long voyage home to England.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
