Ned Kelly (Who Was...?)

Ned Kelly, born into a large family of Irish settlers in Australia, grew up bad. Cool and defiant, he graduated from horse-stealing to cattle-thieving to 'robbery under arms'. Then, at 23, he shot three policeman dead. For the next two years, Ned was on the run - the most wanted criminal in the colony of Victoria, the man who would 'rid Australia of its corrupt, violent police'. This is the story of Ned's life and of how, despite being a known murderer, he became one of Australia's greatest heroes.
