It contains a new transcript of Cox's journal as well as seminal documents from Governor Macquarie and a list of the men who 'laboured for their liberty' to build the road. It also presents a new biographical study of William Cox, and details of his 13 children and 88 grandchildren from hithro-unpublished family papers. The author is William Cox's great-great-grandaughter and the President of the Royal Australian Historical Society."--Back cover.
