Eureka and Beyond: Monty Miller, His Own Story edited by Vic Williams

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Some fading to covers. Interior and binding are still excellent.

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.
