The Jerilderie Letter
[edit]
- ... that Australian bushranger Ned Kelly (pictured), author of the 8000-word Jerilderie Letter, was the only Australian bushranger known to have attempted to justify his actions in writing?
- Reviewed: This is my first nomination - I'll review another nomination next time I nominate
- Comment: Good if this could go up sometime around 11 November which is the anniversary of Ned Kelly's execution by hanging in 1880

A wonderful fascinating article. Hook is well sourced. I notice the article has previously been of a similar/bigger size, but this was due to the improper inclusion of the full text of the letter, so the current version is an x20 expansion in the last 2 days. Just one thing though, the article needs to be renamed to drop the "The", as per WP:DEFINITE. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 09:58, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
