Editor’s notes:
The cover title was Story of the Eureka Stockade: Epic Days of the Early Fifties at Ballarat.
This booklet was originally published as a monthly series of six articles in The Austral Light: A Catholic Magazine (October 1893 to March 1894). The text was later published by the Australian Catholic Truth Society in a booklet format in two undated editions, one in the 1930s and the other in the 1940s (possibly 1947).
The National Library of Australia and the State Library of Victoria both have the year of publication listed as “1947?”. The earliest mention of the publication in the NLA’s collection of online historical newspapers is in a review published in The Advocate (15 January 1948, p. 10); also, it was first advertised for sale in The Advocate (12 February 1948, p. 21).
