Captain Thunderbolt was known as the 'gentleman bushranger'. He didn't like violence, was always polite, and even paid back most of the money he stole. "A bushranger ambushes a travelling German band, taking their hard-earned money and demanding a concert! He plays his whistle and dances a jig as the men brroo and oom pah pah on their instruments in fear. But this is the famed 'gentleman bushranger' Captain Thunderbolt, and this true story has a surprising ending!" -- Back cover.
