Monty Miller (1832-1920) is unique in Australian History. At an early age, he fought and was wounded in the Eureka Stockade of 1853. At eighty-five, he was sentenced to six months' hard labour for his leadership in the anti-conscription struggles in 1917. This book gives his account of his experiences in these two watersheds and more.

A selection of his articles, posters advertising his speeches and articles about him are included. He summed up his experiences in a pamphlet Labor's Road to Freedom, published posthumously with an introduction by Katherine Susannah Throssell (nee Pritchard). This is republished in the book.
