- Abstract
- The history of the Eureka Stockade in Ballarat on 3 December 1854 remains highly contested, and details of what happened to the injured stockade leader, Peter Lalor, together with the events surrounding his arm amputation, are particularly contested. Closer investigation of this medical emergency in 1854, the myths associated with it, and the doctors involved provides new and expanded insight into Eureka, colonial medicine and the role of doctors in colonial Victoria.
