Show Notes
Goldfields diggers knew Edward Thonen as the lemonade man, but his path to Ballarat took him from high-stakes robbery to high-seas adventure.
Amateur historian Daniel Bamberger joins the show from his home in Germany with more. To find out more about Thonen, read Bamberger's free book, Edward Thonen: A forgotten Eureka rebel.
Clarification: Peter Lalor made Edward Thonen captain of one of his divisions, rather than one of the rifle brigades.
