James Tucker

rightJames Rosenberg Tucker (1808–1888) was an Australian convict and alleged author from Bristol, England.

Under the pseudonym Giacomo di Rosenberg, Tucker is said to have written the autobiographical Ralph Rashleigh; or, The Life of an Exile in 1844. It was published in a heavily edited form in 1929, and the original manuscript was published in 1952. Tucker's authorship's of the work, however, is disputed. He arrived in Sydney in 1827 and worked at Emu Plains, New South Wales. Still a convict, he was sent to Port Macquarie in 1844. He was in Goulburn from 1849 to 1853.
