Softcover / Paperback. Etat : Fine. First edition. Softcover. When Jimmy Governor, known as a hard worker who played a good game of cricket, married Ethel Page in 1898 he was challenging a code. For Ethel Page was a white woman and Jimmmy Governor's skin was black. Two and a half years later, the cost of that challenge was 9 murders and 3 judicial executions. Jimmy and Joe Governor were the last proclaimed outlaws in New South Wales. With their friend Jack Underwood they killed 5 people at Breelong on July 20, 1900. In the following days the 2 brothers killed another 3 adults and a child, then went on a rampage of revenge and robbery, laying false trails for their pursuers, ambushing the police and retreating with guns blazing, or else vanishing without a trace. It took 3 months, a manhunt involving 2000 civilians and police and a 3000-kilometre chase through rugged country towards the Queensland border to stop them. What prompted such violence, such thirst for revenge? Who were the Governors and their pursuers? And what really happened during the largest manhunt in Australian history? Of the party of 8 who ran Jimmy Governor to ground in October 1900, 6 were Laurie Moore's forebears. Illus., Notes, Ballads, Bibliog. and Index. 227pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crimne writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers. N° de réf. du vendeur 16462
