Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Book is pre-owned - please see photos. A career in the Victorian penal system might not seem to be a source of excitement, but for John Buckley Castieau it was the trigger for nearly three decades of of diaries that reveal far more about the colonya s early social history than what went on behind prison walls. J.B. Castieau was the governor of Beechworth Gaol and, later, Melbourne Gaol at the time of Ned Kellya s execution. He was also briefly and somewhat disastrously, the Inspector-General of Penal Establishments for Victoria. Well-educated, frequently in debt, impulsively generous, self-doubting and of a unsteady habitsa in his cups, he knew many of the prominent characters of a Marvellous Melbournea including the journalist Marcus Clark and the famous and fiery legal figure Sir Redmond Barry.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A fascinating glimpse into colonial Victoria through the personal diaries of Prison Governor John Buckley Castieau. This well-preserved paperback edition, published by the National Library of Australia in 2004, is offered in Good condition. Castieau's nearly three decades of service within the Victorian penal system, from Beechworth Gaol to Melbourne Gaol, provide a rich source of social history, extending far beyond the prison walls. His tenure notably overlapped with the infamous Ned Kelly era, culminating in Kelly's execution at Melbourne Gaol. Briefly and somewhat disastrously, Castieau also served as the Inspector-General of Penal Establishments for Victoria. The diaries reveal a complex individual: well-educated, prone to debt, impulsively generous, self-doubting, and given to "unsteady habits" in his cups. His narratives offer intimate insights into "Marvellous Melbourne," featuring encounters with prominent figures such as journalist Marcus Clarke and the fiery legal personality Sir Redmond Barry. A compelling read for anyone interested in Australian history, colonial life, true crime, or personal memoirs of the Victorian era. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers SCAN-13-24C64EB4
