Carl Reinhardt
Contents
Background
Goldfields Involvement, 1854
According to family tradition Carl Reinhardt participated in the Eureka Stockade. Although his name is not listed in any official records, he assisted in raising the Eureka "Southern Cross" flag. He was nicknamed "the General" or "the Broomstick General" because he tried to give the miners in the stockade some form of military training and discipline. According to the family story he was one of the few in the Eureka Stockade when the soldiers attacked. He was wounded, but like many others escaped into the bush and escaped.[1]
