This pacey account of the capture of the Kelly Gang reads like a detective story.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe lurched through the gun smoke, his head encased in an iron helmet, and started shooting. To the weary police in the cordon around the Glenrowan hotel, he appeared like a monster, or a creature from hell. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor over a century, the Ned Kelly legend has grown and grown. He's become Australia's Robin Hood, and leader of a colonial Irish resistance. How much of the legend is true? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the real story of the hunt for the Kelly Gang over two long years. As gripping as any police procedural, it is an account of poorly trained officers unfamiliar with the terrain, in pursuit of the most dangerous men in the state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy recounting the story from the perspective of the law, David Dufty gets to the heart of the story for the first time and finds answers to many unresolved questions. Why was the gang always one step ahead of the police? Did law-abiding citizens really assist the outlaws? Did the barely literate Ned really write the impassioned Jerilderie Letter? Did the police really persecute the Kelly family? Who was Michael Ward and why is he the real hero in the capture of Ned Kelly?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781761067341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 5.98w x 1.42d","brand":"David Dufty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52259584245941,"sku":"9781761067341","price":29.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4810e6aa-eb59-46d2-8623-a3c4fdf2b676.jpg?v=1771342324","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nabbing-ned-kelly-the-extraordinary-true-story-of-the-men-who-brought-australias-notorious-outlaw-to-justice-9781761067341","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
