SUMMARY:A presentation on Francis Augustus Hare - Under Siege
LOCATION:Chiltern Historic Court House
DESCRIPTION:The Chiltern court house committee continue their series of pre
 sentations on historic events. It's an opportune time for Susan Hare to ex
 plore the life of her great great grand uncle\, Superintendent Francis Aug
 ustus Hare\, the Victorian Police Officer who led the pursuit of the Kelly
  Gang as it is the anniversary of the Stringybark Creek shoot-out on the 2
 6th October 1878. Susan tells her story and her interest in history which 
 led to her book "Under Siege"\, which examines the Kelly saga and the life
  and times of those days through Frances Hare's eyes. It blends biography\
 , social history and historical narrative revealing insight into the early
  life of colonial Victoria. Enjoy afternoon tea where you can further talk
  to Susan and others interested in the story. Books available for sale The
  Chiltern court house is a wonderful historic building which is an appropr
 iate venue as the warrant for the arrest of Dan Kelly for horse stealing\,
  was issued in this courthouse in April 1878 which led Constable Alexander
  Fitzpatrick going to the Kelly home at Greta to arrest Dan. Known as the 
 'Fitzpatrick Affair'\, leading to the police shootings at Stringybark Cree
 k. The Kelly boys were now declared 'outlaws' with 500 pound reward on the
 ir heads\, the siege at Glenrowan and the eventual hanging of Ned Kelly on
  the 11th November 1880.\n\nDetails: https://ditchevents.com/events/a-pres
