Tomahawking Fred collected by Jack Bradshaw,
the last of the bushrangers & published in his book

Speakers Corner Sydney - Jack Bradshaw (1840-1930) - Jack Bradshaw, self-styled “last of the bushrangers”, pamphleteer and
regular speaker on Sundays in the Domain, was born in Dublin on May 9,
1840. He emigrated alone to Australia at the age of 14. Landing in
Melbourne, Jack found jobs scarce. In desperation he left for the bush.
By the time he reached the age of 20 he had travelled over most of
Victoria, NSW and Queensland – working at odd jobs as best he could.
During his wandering the young Bradshaw became fascinated by stories
told over the campfire: stories of easy money and adventures of a life
of crime. Romantic images inspired him to seek the company of
bushrangers and petty criminals. (read on)
