Ned Kelly books

Post by Kelsey Cooter » 29 Dec 2019, 4:45 pm

Been in Melbourne a few days, so went and saw ol' Neds moldboard suit and the pistol he was using at the Glenrowan seige.
I've been looking for a good Ned Kelly book but can't say I've seen any books that seem awesome.

Anyone read one they recommend?

Have you been to the police museum? No one really knows which armor piece goes with another, but they have another two "sets" supposedly Harts and Dan Kellys.

Oh that sounds cool, I'll have to check it out next time we come down. Had a look at the coops shot tower museum. There was as good as nothing to read but still worth walking through.

I have read a couple. Will have look later and post up
Some titles.

Edit: The only one I have found so far is Ned Kelly by Peter FitzSiomons that I got for Christmas last year and haven’t read yet. The other one I recall reading was the Ellen Kelly biography? I have read other but they must be in a box somewhere as I didn’t find them on the book shelf.
