520 _a"The Last of the Bushrangers: An Account of the Capture of the Kelly Gang" by Francis Augustus Hare is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This narrative centers around the infamous Kelly Gang, particularly focusing on their capture and the various police efforts to bring them to justice. The book not only delves into the exploits of these bushrangers but also provides insight into the social and criminal landscape of colonial Victoria during the gold rush era. The opening of this account sets the scene with Hare reflecting on his experiences during the height of the bushranging crisis in Victoria, specifically detailing the chaotic times during the gold rush. He discusses his initial days in Australia, touching on his journey from the Cape of Good Hope to Melbourne and his subsequent involvement in the Victorian Police. As he paints a vivid picture of life during that period—characterizing the rampant crime, the spirit of the diggers, and the challenges faced by law enforcement—Hare gradually builds the backdrop against which the saga of the Kelly Gang unfolds. He emphasizes the difficulties police faced in apprehending the gang due to their deep local knowledge, community support, and the sheer audacity of their crimes, all of which seem to set the stage for the intricate pursuit that lies ahead.
