About this product
Product Information
Partway through the Jerilderie Letter, Ned Kelly accused Senior Constable Anthony Strahan of threatening him: 'he would shoot me ... like a dog.' Those few fateful words have echoed through Australian history and been the cause of much bloodshed and violence. They ushered in a national myth: the legend of the Kelly Gang. For two days after Anthony reputedly made his threat, Ned and his gang shot dead three police in an event now known as the Stringybark Creek killings. Ned's reason for opening fire? He thought one cop was Anthony. Lachlan Strahan, Anthony's great-great-grandson, grew up believing Ned Kelly was a heroic outlaw and Anthony the ruthless cop who pursued him. Yet as Lachlan began to explore his ancestor's life, he discovered an alternative story. This is a tale about justice and retribution, morality and vengeance. It is about making a life against the odds in a wild frontier society. It is also a story of inheritance: of the words passed from father to son, and the myths we choose to preserve.

Reviews
This compelling and intimate history offers a new perspective on a national legend - the infamous Kelly Gang - and a vivid picture of the life of a policeman on the colonial Victorian frontier. Strahan's career takes us constantly into the dark side of the colonial world, into the rough, vain and violent underside of a frontier society. Through the unfolding stories of individual cases and court dramas, we examine Constable Strahan's character in action - and it is character that goes to the heart of the book's defining scene, the conversation near Greta during the Kelly Outbreak. The story moves towards and away from that pivotal moment, showing how it framed a life and, perhaps, precipitated a tragedy. The book is also a beautiful meditation on history and memory and the power of family storytelling. This is a fascinating and original history, taut and suspenseful, written with subtlety and flair. -- Tom Griffiths, 'This is a fascinating and original history, taut and suspenseful, written with subtlety and flair.' --Tom Griffiths 'Lachlan Strahan brings to life a lost world of rural Victoria in the era of gold-seeking, free selection and bushranging.' --Frank Bongiorno

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
