Description ▲
It is amazing that so many books have been written and films made about the fascinating and enduring Australian Ned Kelly bushranging Gang and every one of these have made a crucial mistake. They all record Ned's brother Dan, and gang member Steve Hart as having been burnt alive in the Glenrowan Hotel when the police torched it. As this book shows, the truth is very different. Author Vince Allen met Dan Kelly in the 1940's so he knows this burly bushman escaped those flames. His grandfather knew the Kelly family before the gang took up bushranging. This book is an adventure story because Dan had to keep one step ahead of the law and it follows his adventures in the goldfields, cattle droving, his experience with the aboriginals in remote parts of Australia, The book contains several photographs and at the end, lots of testimonies from people who had contact with Dan during his long and adventurous life. It is not fiction but reads as exciting as any fiction book.
