Description
It was 1889 in a quiet street in Fitzroy, Melbourne… a most unusual sight. A small delegation of Chinese from the Castlemaine Goldfields knocked on the door of retired police sergeant Henry Frood. Their gift to him was a solid handcrafted gold medal. It was to be treasured but there was a mystery.
The medal lay in [the author’s] father’s briefcase for decades and was finally presented to the Golden Dragon Museum in Bendigo for safe-keeping. But the mystery demanded answers. What had Henry done to deserve this precious gift?
A century later and thirty years of research has unravelled amazing stories of crime and compassion and united the descendants of four families who are deeply connected to the medal, the goldfields and the Chinese community.
