Alexandre Dumas's Hobart Town - Quadrant Online

There is an interesting text by an eyewitness to the 1840 execution of four murderers in Hobart Town Gaol, an account that bears the fingerprints of Alexandre Dumas, which is curious indeed as he never set foot in Tasmania. What the condemned quartet left behind is something of a literary curiosity and, their stories pieced together, an account of dreadful crimes and speedy punishment
