An explorer, entrepreneur, ship designer and, his worst stain, a slaver who 'blackbirded' island labour to work the Queensland plantations, Francis William Cadell was raised on the Leith waterfront by a family of wealthy industrialists and ship builders.
Cadell left no record of the fierce fighting against the imperial troops, 'but we know he saw it all: the massacres, the shocking injuries, the disease, the massive superiority of the British war machine.'
