Eureka: The Military Perspective

from The Skeptical Historian

In the 170 years or so since Eureka, there have been two perspectives which have commanded attention: those of the stockaders, and that of the Victorian Government. The military, who played a major role in the event, have been side-lined from the historical re-telling. In this episode, Juliana explores the report written by Captain John Thomas, the commanding officer at Eureka, to see what it can tell us about why the military acted as they did at Eureka, and the importance of understanding a story from a range of perspectives.
