Description
Ned Kelly, famous outlaw and folk hero, grew up in Australia in the late 1800s. His life of crime began as a teenager stealing horses and later escalated to murder. Kelly soon had a price on his head, which could be collected through his capture or death. This high-interest volume relays the events that led to Kellys hanging in 1880 and why he became a hero to many Australians. Photographs of Kelly and his accomplices, additional information in sidebars and fact boxes, and direct quotations from those involved reveal much about Australias history and culture.
