The Jerilderie Letter


Just wondering if any one has ever read the original and full 56 pages of the famous Jerilderie Letter it is quite an interesting piece of memorabilia by Australia's most infamous bushranger.

Both links contain a copy of it the first has it all on one page the second has it with copy's of the original hand written (by Joe Byrne) version along side it.

To use part of a quote made by heath Ledger regarding the letter and Ned Kelly......the only piece of literature that rang true for me was the Jerilderie letter because it was his voice and I really felt his heart and how passionate he was.
