Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a sequel to the first volume. The book is set during the period of bushranging in Australia. Excerpt: For some time after the robbery of the Escort at Eugowra Rocks, Hall, Gilbert, and O'Meally kept away from their usual haunts; but were by no means idle during their temporary seclusion, and not a few cases of "sticking-up" in lonely parts of the bush roads in the Lachlan district were, not without reason, charged against one or other of them by the authorities and the public. While the fate of their late companions—Mann, Bow, and Fordyce—was hanging in the balance they were arranging fresh plots under the very noses of the police. As in the case of Gardiner, a perfect system of "bush telegraphy" had been established in every locality where their friends resided; and as they invariably moved with a given object from their hiding places, and either returned direct to the place from which they had started or made for some other friendly shelter in another direction, they were always in touch with their "telegraphs" and were thus kept posted in every movement made by the force whose aim it was to capture them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Australian Bushranging: Illustrated by Charles White. Classic account of Australian bushranging recounts in vivid detail, the deeds of the early bush bandits. Attracted by the fast, free life, these native born Australians plundered the gold escorts and crowded coaches, fighting it out with the police - heroes in the eyes of the public they robbed. The early history of bushranging in Australia will never be written, for the facts have never been recorded. Limited though the colony was in extent, its literature—even its journalism—was still more limited. Moreover, the first men who "took the bush" were neither important nor interesting enough to obtain more than a passing mention in those Governors' despatches which are our chief authorities for early colonial history. The name, being applied to men who, some from choice and some from necessity, ranged the bush as freebooters, "sticking-up" settlers and travellers and demanding in orthodox style "your money or your life."
Download or read book Ben Hall written by Jane Smith and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben Hall, sometimes referred to as the 'gentleman bushranger', was the son of poor ex-convicts. His early adult life held promise though; he was hard-working and well respected. He had a family and a partnership in his own cattle station. Then a series of misfortunes befell Hall and his path crossed that of the notorious bushranger Frank Gardiner. Influenced by Gardiner and his gang, Ben Hall entered into a life of crime. During his three years as a bushranger, Hall and his gang committed hundreds of robberies, many of which were violent. For a time, however, Hall had the support of the public, who respected his daring and courage and admired him for outwitting the police. This book tells the story of Ben's life, his notorious exploits as a bushranger and the events that lead to his ultimate betrayal and death.

HISTORY OF THE FAMILY. As in New South Wales, so in Victoria, the last of the bushranging gangs was the worst. The leading members of the gang in each case were brothers, springing from a vicious stock. Each gang operated in a district where tribal ramifications were strong and numerous, and "telegraphs" and harbourers as plentiful as mushrooms on an old sheep station after autumn rain. The most sanguinary deed of each was the murder of a party of policemen, entrapped in a lonely part of the bush. But the Kellys were in every way better generals than the Clarkes--more systematic in their proceedings, having bolder conceptions, which they carried out in a more daring manner. It will be remembered that the Chief Justice of New South Wales, when referring to the criminality of the Clarkes, spoke of it as the working of the old leaven of convictism. For this statement he was taken to task by not a few press writers, and was charged with vindictively recalling things which should be carefully buried and kept out of sight. But whatever was said concerning the Clarkes might have been said with absolute truth concerning the Kelly's, who appear to have lived in an atmosphere of crime and luxuriated in robbery and violence. The family was, root and branch, morally diseased. "Red Kelly," as the father was called, had been transported to Tasmania in 1841 for attempting to shoot his landlord, and arrived in Victoria early in the history of that colony, which received not a few of the worst of the Van Demonians. He was first heard of at Wallan, thirty miles from Melbourne, which was in those days considered quite an out-station. Here he became acquainted with a family named Quinn, who had settled in the same locality; and...
Download or read book Story Of Ben Hall And His Gang written by Noble Schmahl and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst frantically eeing on foot from the New South Wales Police Force, Ben Hall was shot over 30 times in the back and head. He was armed at the time, however he did not re on the police. He was surrounded by ocers on all sides, with no chance of escape. Once Ben Hall was shot and disabled, the police continued to re at him, riddling his body with bullets, killing him. Over the years, many historians have questioned the legality of the killing of Ben Hall. The Felons Apprehension Act, a law which allows any person to shoot a declared 'outlaw' on sight, had not been fully enacted at the time of the killing. Does this mean the New South Wales Police Force unlawfully killed Ben Hall? Over 150 years have passed since his death, and great controversy still surrounds the legality of his killing to this day

Book excerpt: The Reporting of Ben Hall the Brave Bushranger, is a compilation of newspaper articles published from 1862 to 1866, which tell the story of the life and death of Ben Hall and his gang in intricate detail as it was read by the nation, and Ben Hall himself, over a century ago.

These personal accounts offer a greater understanding into what these victims endured, and how difficult it was for the authorities to capture these bushrangers with inferior equipment and horses. This is the first book in the 'Australian Bushrangers in Print' series which covers all of the well-known Australian Bushrangers and the not so well-known ones. The Reporting of Ben Hall the Brave Bushranger, is a fascinating read that provides a remarkable insight into the feelings of a nation caught in the middle of bushranging terror.
