The Gold Escort Robbery Trials by Australian historian Noel Thurgood revisits the sensational 1850s hold-ups that thrilled colonial Victoria and helped forge the bushranger legend. True-crime buffs and history students alike will appreciate how Thurgood pieces together court transcripts, newspaper accounts and goldfields lore to show why these heists still echo in Australia’s memory.

This sturdy 1988 first-edition hardcover from Kangaroo Press arrives with its original dust jacket, bright and protected. A neat gift inscription on the front endpaper is the only mark; the pages are otherwise crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound—a clean copy from a smoke-free home.

Ideal for collectors of Australian bushranger history or anyone after a gripping, factual yarn about gold, greed and frontier justice. Light shelf wear is all that hints at its vintage; the book is ready for immediate reading, gifting or shelf display.
