About the author
Charles White, whose scholarly efforts are underrepresented in contemporary literary circles, made significant contributions to the documentation of Australian social history. White's seminal work, 'History of Australian Bushranging 2,' serves as a compelling chronicle, which delves into the tumultuous and oft-romanticized epoch of Australian bushrangers – outlaws who roamed the Australian countryside from the late 18th to the 19th century. While the extent of White's oeuvre is not as expansive or as well-documented as that of his peers, his writing on bushrangers constitutes an important segment of Australian historiography, offering readers both narrative flair and historical detail. White employed a narrative style that wove together anecdote and historical fact, a technique that rendered the subject accessible and engaging to a wider audience. Although there is a dearth of biographical information about White himself, 'History of Australian Bushranging 2' stands as a testament to his dedication to preserving the stories of Australia's most notorious figures. The book remains a reference point for historians interested in the social dynamics and cultural mythologies of early Australian colonial society. White's work, while focused primarily on the aspect of bushranging, inadvertently sheds light on the broader colonial experience, including the penal origins of Australia, the hardship of rural living, and the evolution of Australian law and order.
