The Eureka Stockade is Carboni's eccentric yet shrewd account of the events leading up to and beyond the miners' revolt on the Victorian goldfields in 1854.

Raffaello Carboni (1817-1875) was born in Urbino, Italy. He arrived at the Victorian goldfields in 1853 and witnessed the attack on the Eureka Stockade in 1854 as a member of the miners central committee. He eventually returned to Italy to participate in the Risorgimento.
