Dan Kelly - Outlaw

This book is out of print and copyright and I am making it available because of its interesting content.
Edited by Ambrose Pratt, this book is from the Bookstall series and the original was printed in 1911. This copy is a faxcimile of the 1926 edition. The front cover states "being the Memoir of Daniel Kelly, leader of the Kelly Gang of bushrangers supposed to have been slain in the famous fight at Glenrowan."
The year is 1880 when Ned Kelly was hanged in Victoria and Dan kelly was recorded as having been burnt alive at the Jones Hotel, Glenrowan, Australia. But Dan states he escaped.
This book is his own account of what happened. He is bitter about the Irish situation which led up to the transporting of convicts to Australia, the rough treatment of his father, Red and the early days of the Kelly Gang and the tragedy which led to his brother's hanging. The book contains wonderful detail of the convict days in Australia, horse and cattle duffing and the way of life of the settlers and convicts at that time.
