The term "bushranger" then evolved to those who abandoned social rights and privileges to take up "robbery under arms" as a way of life. These bushrangers were roughly analogous to British "highwaymen" and American Old West "road agents," and their crimes often included robbing small-town banks or coach services. In Australian history and iconography, bushrangers are held in esteem in some quarters due to the harshness and anti-Catholicism of the colonial authorities whom they embarrassed, and the romanticism of the lawlessness they represented.Scarce.
