Synopsis
Italian revolutionary Raffaello Carboni reached the Ballarat goldfields in 1853 looking for adventure and wealth. Instead, he found growing unrest among the miners, who were straining against harsh and oppressive government regulations. This unrest came to a head at dawn on 3 December 1854, at the now legendary Eureka Stockade. Here, 120 angry miners revolted against police and soldiers, leaving thirty-five men dead. The courage, resistance to authority and support for democratic freedom displayed by the miners has shaped ideas of Australian nationhood ever since. Raffaello Carboni, an active participant, relates the story behind the myth. His eyewitness account, first published in 1855, vividly and accurately evokes the excitement, drama and horror of the Eureka Stockade, and its aftermath. This new edition of a classic work, supplemented with an introduction by Tom Keneally, is published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Eureka uprising.

À propos de l?auteur
Raffaello Carboni, an accomplished writer and composer, was born in Urbino, Italy, in 1817 and became active in the Young Italy movement during the 1840s. From 1849 he lived mainly in London until he was lured to the Australian colonies by the discovery of gold in 1852. His revolutionary experience and linguistic skills were recognised by Peter Lalor, who appointed him to organise the European contingent at the Eureka Stockade. In 1856 Carboni returned to Italy, where he was involved in the nationalist movement and continued to publish literary and musical works. He died in Rome in 1875.

Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. First Edition Thus. 1993. xix,181pp. "In Australia's folk memory, one event will forever stand as the great example of courage and resistance to authority: the Eureka Stockade. On the Ballarat goldfields, at dawn on December 3, 1854, 120 angry miners fought 276 police and soldiers in 'our own little rebellion'. The miners had risen in revolt against what they felt was a harsh and oppressive government. When the firing died down, five of the troops and thirty miners lay dead among the ruins of the Stockade, and a legend was about to be born. Here is the only full-length eyewitness account of the Eureka Stockade, published a year after the uprising, written by an Italian revolutionary who wrote the book to 'set the record straight'." The book is in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean. N° de réf. du vendeur Australasia017
