The authors
Brian and James Peisley
For about 45 years each, more than 90 years between us, we have independently researched our relative John (Jack) Peisley, born in 1834 and hanged at Bathurst Gaol on 25 April 1862, aged 28.
After retirement we combined our research and wrote two books. Both are about 480 pages and contain historical photographs, documents, family information and research gathered over many years.

Brian Peisley
Brian's research concentrated on the Peisley family, the people surrounding John, and the family circumstances behind his story.
Book One gives the story its heart. Book Two gives it its bones.
