However, underneath these commonly known stories lies a stranger and darker past. As well as colonists, pioneers, soldiers and rebel miners, the colonial goldfields were home to spiritualists, secret societies, ghost-hoaxers, bunyip legends and murderers. There are also the stories of those forgotten in the goldfield histories, including Indigenous peoples, the mentally ill, homosexuals and immigrant communities. Goldfields and the Gothic is an anthology by local historians for the long buried legends, histories and folklore of the Victorian goldfields and their legacy today. Every historian has a collection of strange, buried pieces of history; this work begins the task of bringing them into the light.; Book; LibraryPR B-0036; BAYLY, Benjamin; Note: Pioneer Register records are submitted by individuals to the RHSV and information should always be verified to primary sources such as civil indexes, shipping records and directories.|Birth Year: |Birth Place: |Victorian Residence:; Form; Manuscripts Collection - Pioneer RegisterPR B-0082.2; MYLES, -; Note: Pioneer Register records are submitted by individuals to the RHSV and information should always be verified to primary sources such as civil indexes, shipping records and directories.|Birth Year: c1845 |Birth Place: |Victorian Residence:; Form; Manuscripts Collection - Pioneer RegisterPR B-0082.2; WORTHY, Fanny; Note: Pioneer Register records are submitted by individuals to the RHSV and information should always be verified to primary sources such as civil indexes, shipping records and directories.|Birth Year: c1851 |Birth Place: |Victorian Residence:; Form; Manuscripts Collection - Pioneer RegisterPR B-0082.2; FARRELL, Kate; Note: Pioneer Register records are submitted by individuals to the RHSV and information should always be verified to primary sources such as civil indexes, shipping records and directories.|Birth Year: c1854 |Birth Place: |Victorian Residence:; Form; Manuscripts Collection - Pioneer RegisterPR C-0049.8; WARREN, Sarah; Note: Pioneer Register records are submitted by individuals to the RHSV and information should always be verified to primary sources such as civil indexes, shipping records and directories.|Birth Year: |Birth Place: |Victorian Residence:; Form; Manuscripts Collection - Pioneer RegisterPR C-0092; Neilson, Jane; Note: Pioneer Register records are submitted by individuals to the RHSV and information should always be verified to primary sources such as civil indexes, shipping records and directories.|Birth Year: |Birth Place: |Victorian Residence:; Form; Manuscripts Collection - Pioneer RegisterPR D-0029; SMITH, Louisa; Note: Pioneer Register records are submitted by individuals to the RHSV and information should always be verified to primary sources such as civil indexes, shipping records and directories.|Birth Year: |Birth Place: |Victorian Residence:; Form; Manuscripts Collection - Pioneer RegisterPR D-0034; PHILLIPS, Gabriel; Note: Pioneer Register records are submitted by individuals to the RHSV and information should always be verified to primary sources such as civil indexes, shipping records and directories.|Birth Year: |Birth Place: |Victorian Residence:; Form; Manuscripts Collection - Pioneer RegisterPR D-0034; BENNETTS, Elizabeth; Note: Pioneer Register records are submitted by individuals to the RHSV and information should always be verified to primary sources such as civil indexes, shipping records and directories.|Birth Year: |Birth Place: |Victorian Residence:; Form; Manuscripts Collection - Pioneer Register
