Calamity and Conquest
A chronicle of the convict Joseph Blundell and his common-law wife Susan Osborne
By Allan Hawke
This history of Joseph and Susan Blundell, who came to Canberra in 1842 as pioneer settlers, documents their ancestry in England, where they came from, why they came to Australia, how they came here and subsequent developments in their stories.
It reveals the truth of the embroidered family folklore, which was carefully constructed to include real facts to disguise Joseph’s convict origins and Susan’s abscondment from her husband with an infant child, leaving four helpless ones behind in Newcastle.
