Alias Blind Larry
Product Description
The mostly true memoir of James Laurence – ‘The Singing Convict’. Born in London in 1793, the son of a diamond cutter, young James Laurence travelled to Jamaica, the USA and Canada, clerking, acting, impersonating, singing, forging and defrauding before being transported to NSW in 1814 for jewel theft. He wrote his memoir on Norfolk Island in 1842, just before his release and it is mostly true!
