The St Helena Story - an illustrated history of Colonial Queensland's Island prison by Jarvis Finger.
I have included this book in our www.outbackbooks.com collection mainly because it was to St Helena that 13 of the leaders of the Great Shearers' Strike of 1891 were sent. The Great Shearers Strike was a defining time in Queensland, and indeed Australian, history - linked as it was to icons as diverse as Waltzing Matilda and the ALP.   Chapter 11 is A Unionist Remembers. One of the strikers, Julian Stuart, recalls his three years of hard labour at the island prison. The book is a fascinating glimpse of the prison, people and daily life.
