Description
Second Hand Book
Although Peter Lalor holds a very special place in Australian history this is the first concise comprehensive biography about him. Written by an historian who is a Fellow of the International Biographical Association, Cambridge, the book traces Lalor’s early life as a member of a rebellious Irish family thence to his experiences on the Victorian goldfields which culminated in the bloody fight at the Eureka Stockade. The exciting story of his escape with a price on his head is followed by an account remarkable in itself, of his years as a controversial public figure and as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria.
