The Eureka Stockade,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Eureka Stockade (Paperback)
I have two copies of this book in paperback.It is an outstanding story by one of the participants. I call this event, Australia's Alamo. The outcome was different but the results were the same. Basically the small guy fighting for his rights against the big guy. The fight for Freedom! This is a must for all such libraries.
