'Nothing is left to remind us of the tragic career of Thomas Muir except the name of the Sydney suburb of Hunter's Hill, yet all other stories associated with the beginning of Australian settlement pale before the history of this forgotten victim of injustice.
Scotland has produced many tough and indomitable men, but none braver than the lawyer who, in his fight for liberty, travelled around the world, survived shipwreck, battle, and imprisonment in three countries, and trudged alone from Canada to Panama. His life was one long and terrible tale of adventure with, alas, no happy ending.' (Publisher's abstract p. 7)
