Notes
-
Foreword. The events narrated in this book are, in the main, true to life. The people were well known in and around Bourke, New South Wales, in the early seventies, and, though their names have been slightly altered, many an old identity will still recognise them. In a measure, the story is just a page from the history of the period, and may serve to give the present generation some faint idea of the stirring times of forty years ago. Of the 'Dramatis Personae' there remains but one survivor; the rest have 'crossed the bar.' H. K. Bloxham.
