Lost Lenore : or, the adventures of a rolling stone / edited by Mayne Reid. (London : C.H. Clarke, [1865])
Captain Mayne Reid was a well-known writer of adventure stories. As he explains in the preface to this novel, he merely edited Beach’s fictionalised memoirs for publication. It includes the first account of the events in 1854 at the Eureka Stockade, Ballarat, to appear in a novel. Chapter 72 "The Eureka rout" contains most of the detail, written from the point of view of one who was there, fought and fled.
