Can you be more specific? It's a stubby article, so it's incomplete. But if you're suggesting the Sydney Ducks were in fact responsible for a crime wave that was so bad in SF that it justified a coup by the
Vigilantes, you need to make that case, preferably with support from a reliable

Semi-accurate information, that is. As with many 19th century historians
Herbert Asbury had quite a bias. He tended to the salacious and is accused of being fairly loose in his fact checking. I guess victory always goes to those who write the histories.

Why were they called ducks? Is is because they were 'ducking' out from hard times in
Ireland and prison sentences in Australia? Signed: "Ginger Pale".
