The Inner History of The Kelly Gang gives a hitherto unpublished version of the Kellys and their doings in the north-east of Victoria. The facts are well presented, and the book is well illustrated, with portraits of the chief actors and scenes from the surrounding country. — (The Corryong Courier, 27/6/29.)

Having had access to certain departmental documents and access to district papers, the story is practically correct in details, and the geography of the district good. Mr. Kenneally has woven his story together in a readable manner. — (Rutherglen and Chiltern Valley Advertiser, 28/6/29.) The book is an indictment of the police of the time, and their superiors, whose unjust persecutions, says Mr. Kenneally, first drove them to the bush, and whose tyrannical methods gained so much sympathy for the outlaws. — (The Kyneton Guardian, 27/6/29.)
