Synopsis
Excerpt from The Eureka Stockade: The Consequence of Some Pirates Wanting, on Quarter-Deck a Rebellion Mendacium sibi, sicut turbinis, viam augustam in urbe et orbe terrarum aperuit. Stultus dicit in corde suo, "non est Deus." Veritas vero lente passu passu sicut puer, tandem aliquando janunculat ad luceum. Tunc Justus ut palma florescit. I Undertake to do what an honest man should do, let it thunder or rain. He who buys this book to lull himself to sleep had better spend his money in grog. He who reads this book to smoke a pipe over it, let him provide himself with plenty of tobacco - he will have to blow hard. A lover of truth - that's the man I want - and he will have in this book the truth, and nothing but the truth. Facts, from the "stubborn-things" store, are here retailed and related - contradiction is challenged from friend or foe. The observation on, and induction from the facts, are here stamped with sincerity: I ask for no other credit. I may be mistaken: I will not acknowledge the mistake unless the contrary be proved.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book plunges readers into the heart of the Eureka Stockade, a pivotal moment in Australian history. The author, an eyewitness to the events, offers a firsthand account of the tensions between the gold diggers and the colonial authorities in the 1850s, highlighting the grievances that led to the rebellion. The narrative vividly depicts the harsh realities of life on the goldfields, including the brutal licence hunts, the rampant sly grog trade, and the social and economic inequalities that festered beneath the surface of colonial life. The author's perspective is that of a European immigrant navigating the challenges of the gold rush, a perspective that adds a fascinating layer to the story of the Eureka Stockade. His insights are sharp and often laced with humor, drawing a poignant contrast between the ideals of British justice and the realities of colonial rule. He explores themes of social injustice, class conflict, and the struggle for individual rights amidst a rapidly changing landscape. This book offers a compelling look into the underbelly of colonial Australia, revealing the simmering unrest that ultimately erupted into the Eureka Stockade, an event that had a profound impact on the development of Australian democracy.
