Author talk: A Little Bit of Justice, Don Christophersen

A Little Bit of Justice tells the story of Charlie Flannigan, a young stockman and well-known jockey, who would also be remembered infamously as being the first man to be executed in the Northern Territory of South Australia.

With a passion for researching and telling of the history of the Northern Territory, Don Christophersen’s book brings together historical court documents, newspaper articles, and importantly Flannigan’s own illustrations drawn while in gaol to share this 130-year-old story.
