Before
dawn
on
3
December
1854,
colonial
troopers
at
Ballarat
attacked
a
group
of
gold
miners
who
had
thrown
up
a
stockade
in
defiance
and
defence.
Some
diggers
had
guns,
but
many
were
unarmed;
some
twenty
of
them
were
killed,
along
with
four
troopers. In
the
decades
that
followed,
the
truth
of
what
happened
that
morning
became
obscured
by
partisans
on
both
sides.
For
many
years
the
Eureka
Stockade
was
regarded
as
a
shameful
event
and
almost
forgotten;
more
recently,
it
has
been
celebrated
as
a
righteous
stand
against
injustice. John
Molony's
Eureka
vividly
recreates
the
story
of
Eureka
and
unravels
the
myths
that
have
come
to
surround
it. This
new
edition
of
Molony's
classic
work,
now
beautifully
illustrated
with
historic
Eureka
images,
will
be
welcomed
by
everyone
with
an
interest
in
the
history
of
Australian democracy.
