With the authority of a firsthand witness, Sadleir details the challenges of maintaining law and order on the colonial frontier, from the lawless goldfields of the 1850s to the pursuit of notorious bushrangers, including the infamous Ned Kelly gang. Written in a measured yet compelling tone, the narrative presents an intimate portrait of colonial Australian society, illuminating the lives of settlers, outlaws, and lawmen alike. Rich with anecdote and sharp observation, it stands as an invaluable primary source for anyone drawn to Australian history, policing, or the rugged character of the Victorian era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820250575067,"sku":"2026200006517-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d8b9e836-cbee-4d7e-95ed-76ce07bdaccc.png?v=1780055681","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006517-secondhand-recollections-of-a-victorian-police-officer","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
