“Did You Know – that there were three Australian bushrangers named Edward Kelly? – that Ned was related to a famous American frontier scout? – that during the Hunt, a Female Brigade, commanded by a formidable lady who farmed silkworms, was suggested as the final solution to the Kelly problem? – that Ned had a Texas Ranger on his trail? – that at Jerilderie, Ned mentioned his marriage?
Here is the Kelly story from the lighter side, with many of the interesting and amusing incidents, that are so often overlooked in the high drama, which tends to dominate most accounts of the Kelly years.  In addition, the authors have offered comments on “The Kelly Outbreak, 1878-1880” by John McQuilton.”
