In support of the common sailors and at odds with his fellow officers, Redfern was court-martialled for his actions and sentenced to be hanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to his profession, the sentence was commuted to transportation for life and on arrival in New South Wales, his exceptional surgical skills quickly saw him granted a full pardon. He was soon central to the new colony's medical services, was appointed personal surgeon to the Governor and Assistant Surgeon of the Colonial Medical Services, but despite becoming a wealthy landowner in his own right, he would forever carry the \u003cem\u003econvict's stain\u003c\/em\u003e in the eyes of certain members of the British Colonial establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemembered for the Sydney suburb that bears his name, this outstanding biography, in two volumes, brings to the forefront the story of William Redfern as it follows the rise and fall and subsequent rise again of one of Australia's most influential early settlers. A pioneer of immunisation techniques and an advocate for the role of hygiene and nutrition he truly was one of the first to understand that prevention was better than cure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 21, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53246514463027,"sku":"9780648447184","price":64.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/XSm6PYJhXQ9780648447184.webp?v=1776286829","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/better-than-cure-wellbeing-in-the-wooden-world-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
