Publishers Description: Noel Thurgood relates the story of the Eugowra gold escort robbery on 15 June 1862 (central western New South Wales) and the subsequent trial. A gang of eight men, headed by the notorious bushranger Frank Gardiner ambushed the Forbes gold escort, shot it out with the police escort and took off with over 14,000 pounds worth of gold and notes. In this book, the late author presents the fascinating court room evidence as it unfolds on a day-by-day basis. The author died before publication in 1985. Paul Feain and Peter Smith helped to prepare the material for publication. Readers can consider their verdict.
