- Summary:
-
Gold discoveries in Australia created an unprecedented population explosion and with it came crime and lawlessness. In Blood Gold Marji Hill, author of more than 70 publications, tells: about law and order on the goldfields ; how gold was a target for theft ; how the Native Police were used to enforce law and order ; how with the expanding frontier the Native Police were used to "disperse" First Nations people from their lands to make way for colonisation ; how the Native Police were a symbol of white colonial attitudes towards First Nations people ; about Australia's first Chinese bushranger, and stories of some female bushrangers.(publisher's website, viewed 7/9/2022)
