Status Updates From True History of the Kelly Gang

So far so good. Ned's poor grammar and spelling are forcing me to read slower, which is fine. Man, his dad was an asshole - but the townsfolk don't seem much better. I honestly hadn't thought much about Irish immigrants in Australia during the mid- to late-1800s, so I'm curious how realistic this portrayal is. I feel like it might be somewhat dramatized, but is certainly based on some truth.
