{"product_id":"from-manacles-to-mayor","title":"From Manacles to Mayor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of William Archer 1809-1891. William was sentenced to 7 years transportation to New South Wales, where he was accused of a secondary offence and was sent to Norfolk Island for Life. His first hand account of life as a convict was recorded and published in 1889 by his biographer. This book records his story and then traces WilliamÕs life as a free settler on the Clarence River in northern New South Wales. He was a sawyer, labourer, builder, farmer and publican. He attained the position of Mayor of Grafton in 1861; hence his transition from 'manacles' to 'mayor'. This is also a family history in which some of his descendants record their family links to William and relate their stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44228700209313,"sku":"9781111132240","price":27.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/149rzmk9-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1748418601","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/from-manacles-to-mayor","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
