In the Footsteps of Captain Patrick Logan

ByJohn Tilston

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Captain Patrick Logan of the 57th Regiment of Foot was chosen to be the commandant of the new penal colony of Moreton Bay, the forerunner of Brisbane, the capital of the Australian state of Queensland, because he was thought to be of strong character and impeccable credentials. He was by official reports, a very successful overseer of the fledgling settlement. Yet his charges, the incorrigible old lags - repeat offenders - saw him a heartless tyrant who routinely ordered unconscionable punishments. Local author John Tilston takes us on a journey to discover the true character of the man behind so many myths.
