Author Description

Ned Kelly was a dangerous man - a thief, a bank robber and a murderer. Yet when he was sentenced to hang, thousands of people rallied to save his life. In the Jerilderie Letter we hear from Ned in his own words. Wicked, angry, vividly descriptive - this is Ned's justification to his countryment of how it all transpired. Superbly edited by award-winning Ned Kelly expert, Carole Wilkinson, this is one of the most important documents of Australia's history.
