This book is the culmination of three years research after his Grandfather, Francis Dalton, shared this amazing story just before he passed away in 1995. John Thomas Dalton was swindled out of the find of the century by the very forces sent to protect and uphold the law..... John decided the real story of Eureka would be taken to his grave, until that very day came. With the words 'unknown' listed against the founder of the 'Lady Hotham Nugget' clearly etched into his mind, it was time to spill the beans. This incredible true story of Eureka will rewrite the history books. Much of the events of Eureka are polluted by regular inaccuracies and assumptions. These family secrets reveal what really happened at Eureka, with blood, warts and all. Reviews 'As you can see from my name, I have a connection with the hero in this novel. When Peter approached our family we were delighted to help in any way we could in his quest. To our surprise, Peter unearthed many things that had either faded in time or had been suppressed. His easy going, yet reserved style of writing made this an enjoyable journey through John Thomas Dalton’s extraordinary life. Variety in this book is what makes it a best seller. From little funny stories about John’s associates, that made me chuckle to myself, to his love and passion for one woman. Then the detail of the deceit and treachery pushed on John by the authorities and family, which could’ve cost him his life. Finally, John’s participation in the greatest fight against corruption at the Eureka Stockade and what followed. His explanations, passion for detail and descriptions of different characters were very clear. I congratulate him on a wonderful book and highly recommend this historical novel to all and I am looking forward to Peter’s next one.'
