From the Introduction:
“Hugh Bracken was a Mounted Constable in the Victoria Police, who was actively involved in the search for the Kelly Gang. Hugh had a strong sense of justice and fair play, qualities which were amply demonstrated when he protected gang leader Ned Kelly from being shot by Sergeant Steele. This occurred at the time of Kelly’s arrest, when some police, enraged by Kelly’s murder of their colleagues, began to lose their self-control. When Steele seemed about to shoot the defenseless outlaw, Hugh acted immediately and threatened to shoot anyone who shot Kelly. Immediately he did this, the crisis was averted and the arrest proceeded uneventfully.”
