4.9/5 (18355 ratings)

Description:Although this is the story of a family history it is also an account of how many agricultural labourers - the poorest of working men -living in Udimore, a parish typical of many in rural East Sussex, resorted to desperate measures to improve their lives in the 19th century. Some took to smuggling to supplement their weekly wage risking their lives and facing death or transportation if caught; many others took the drastic step of uprooting their families and leaving these shores to embark on long sea voyages to America, New South Wales, Canada and New Zealand, never to return to their homeland. But new countries presented fresh opportunities for men with farming skills - land could be bought too, something which would never have happened had they remained in England - and through their enterprise and hard work their families prospered in their new lands.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
