Disenthralled was ritten while Gatchell was involved in the temperance movement and it correspondingly adopts that tone. The book details the personal journey of Joseph Gatchell's descent into alcoholism, his early exposure to Irish whiskey, while living in Dublin, his loss of employment as a bank clerk, enlistment as a 'private soldier' (encouraged by an Enniskillen Dragoon), stating ". I resolved to seek a home in happy New York. and embarked on board the ship Scotland, for New York." Nevertheless, Gatchell was a well-travelled rogue before seeing the light. He became involved with the Washingtonian movement, which preceded Alcoholics Anonymous by almost a century. He also relates his visits to Australia, America, and elsewhere. The little known wreck of the Governor Endicott at Geographe Bay in Western Australia is also discussed.
