A Labourer’s Life on 3 Continents
Jonas Bolton was an illiterate labourer born on an area known as the Delph in Brierley Hill in the Black Country at the beginning of the 19th century. He was transported to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) after stabbing a neighbour in a fight and remarkably returned to his family in England after his sentence was completed. In his 60s, he emigrated with his wife and daughter's family to the United States.
