Book Description
When the Kelly Gang rode to Jerilderie in January 1879 they heard people singing songs praising their exploits. Since then historians, novelists, film directors, journalists and commentators have regularly debated the events in Northeast Victoria in the late 1870s. THE NED KELLY ENCYCLOPAEDIA brings together over 800 articles covering people, places and themes connected with Ned Kelly and the Kelly Outbreak 1878-80. The biographical entries provide detailed information on the early life of all the major people involved with the Kelly Gang, along with descriptions of their family life and what direction their careers took after the execution of Ned Kelly. Most of this information has never appeared in one volume before. This synthesis of previously published and new information and interpretations for all the major events in Ned Kelly's life illuminates many hitherto unresearched elements of the Kelly story.
