| Object history | Bushranger Ned Kelly is arguably Australia's best-known historical character. The convicted murderer and self-confessed stock thief is also the only bushranger known to have left a detailed written justification of his actions. Kelly's document became known as the Jerilderie Letter. He attempted to have his 'letter' published when his gang held up the small New South Wales town of Jerilderie in 1879. Only two copies of the document were made - this one by publican John Hanlon, and one by the police prior to Kelly's trial which is held by the Public Record Office of Victoria. The original is in the State Library of Victoria collection. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
