200 Yanks vs. 800 Poms: The American Eurkea Story

  • Resumen

  • Out on the road near Ballarat, a party of 200 armed Americans lay in wait for a column of British infantry making haste to the restless goldfield. What would have happened if they'd crossed paths?

    The American contribution to Eureka has been buried, forgotten and (in some cases) deliberately written out of this famous story. In this episode, Juliana considers why the Americans have been forgotten, and shines a light on their participation in the stockade, and the famous events surrounding it. The Americans made up the largest ethnic group within the stockade, and accounted for most of the causalities, but why did so many of them want to involve themselves in British politics? Listen in and find out!

    WARNING: This episode contains mentions of slavery and animal cruelty. Listener discretion is advised.
