An Introduction to Ned Kelly: A Pictorial History of an Australian Outlaw

Many people know the name Ned Kelly but don't know the story that led to his last stand at Glenrowan or his execution at the Old Melbourne Gaol. The author has attempted to retell the story by simply connecting the events of the day with images of places and items that still exist today. The book begins with the marriage of Ned Kellys parents in 1850 and ends with Neds execution in 1880. In between are all the significant events of his life, including the police murders, the audacious robberies, and Neds vision for a republic of North-Eastern Victoria. It is the ideal book for anyone who has an interest in Australian history or who wants to know more about Ned Kellys significance to Australia.
