[Content] www.literaryheritage.org.uk Home People Places Themes ... Site map Adam Lindsay Gordon Profile Adam Lindsay Gordon was born in the Azores on October 19, 1833, of an old Scottish family. His father was a retired army captain who later became professor of Oriental languages in Cheltenham College. The family moved to Madeira when he was a child, and then to Cheltenham, in 1840. Gordon spent a year in the newly founded college in 1841, from 1843 to 1847 was at school at Dumbleton and was then sent to the Royal Military College at Woolwich from 1848 to 1851. In 1852 he was sent to be educated at the Royal Grammar School in Worcester . The headmaster at the time, Canon Temple, recorded that Gordon had a "most extraordinary genius." But within four months of arrival he was already in trouble. His chief interest of horses led him to be almost imprisoned for stealing a horse to ride in the Worcester Steeplechase. Gordon was due to ride Lallah Rookh, a mare at a steeplechase meeting in Crowle. The owner of the horse had placed bets on him winning the race. However, the bailiffs seized the horse the night before the meeting and locked it in the stables at the Plough Inn, Worcester. Gordon stormed into the stables at the Plough Inn and led the mount away. He was prevented from racing, but the owner went on to race instead and actually won the event. Gordon was ordered to appear at Worcester Magistrates Court but was saved from being imprisoned by Tom Oliver of Worcester, who bailed him out of court. His name appears in the poem:

P oet Adam Lindsay Gordon (1833-1870) was born in Fayal in the Azores on October 19th, 1833. He was educated in England, where he was good at sports but not studiously inclined and certainly undisciplined. His father sent him to Australia to, hopefully, start a new and more useful life. He arrived in Adelaide in November of 1854. His many pursuits included being a police officer, poet, boxer, horse breaker and steeplechase jockey (all of which he was capable of carrying out), parliamentarian, manager, investor, businessman (all of which he displayed a considerable lack of talent in). At the age of 29 he married Margaret Park, 17, and used an inheritance of 7000 pounds from his mothers estate to help publish his own writing. His first published verse was a ballad entitled The Feud in 1864. In 1867 he published Ashtaroth, a Dramatic Lyric, Sea Spray and Smoke Drift. His interest in steeplechase racing brought him to Ballarat. During one visit he received an offer from Walter Craig to take up the leasehold of the livery stables that were attached to Craig's Hotel in Bath Street. He arrived to take up the leasehold in 1867 with his wife and daughter. During his time in Ballarat he was secretary of the local hunt club and became a senior sergeant in the Ballarat troop of light horse. Both of these activities were associated with money and position and Gordon was living beyond his means. Whilst in Ballarat, his daughter Annie died from an infection and was buried in the Ballarat Old Cemetary. She was eleven months of age. In 1919, her body was exhumed and moved to the cemetary at Brighton.

16. Gordon Of Khartoum Legend a belief sourced to this compiler's Henry Gordon line grandfather that the familywas related to that of the Australian poet Adam Lindsay Gordon (18331870). http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jray/gordon/appendix2.htm

Appendix II The established family history and genealogy of life long batchelor Major-General Charles "Chinese" George Gordon (1833-1885) who died at the siege of Khartoum, who was born in Kent in England and whose father was Major-General William Henry Gordon, goes back to David Gordon who died in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1752. There is no evidence David Gordon had a son or grandson named John Gordon, let alone of there having been a family branch in Ireland in the time frame in which Robert Gordon was born. This relationship claim was apparently based soley on a grandson of Letitia Garmonsway of New Zealand having claimed when an old man that as a very young boy he had addressed the envelopes for letters she wrote to the legendary General Gordon. Clearly his recollection of her corresponding with the famous General was in error. Likely similarly astray is a belief sourced to this compiler's Henry Gordon line grandfather that the family was related to that of the Australian poet Adam Lindsay Gordon (1833-1870). Lindsay Gordon's earliest known ancestor, traced through legal documents, was his great great grandfather Robert Gordon who went to France in the early 1700s where he was a successful wine and spirit merchant in Bordeaux later purchasing two estates in Scotland which he entailed to his eldest son George Gordon While Adam Lindsay and General Charles Gordon were from the same Scottish clan, shared the same birth year of 1833, and attended the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich together, similary to General Gordon he does not appear to have had any family branch in Ireland in the 1700s! The clan Gordon was not only ancient but widespread. A suggestion there may have been grander days is found in a 1885 letter written by Robert Gordon's granddaughter Ada Gordon to his step daughter Letitia Garmonsway - quote "I once heard that your father's family (Gordon) were a good family, but that his father or grandfather had married beneath him and was not recognized by his relations in consequence. Also that there was some property in the West Indies belonging to them in Chancery."

18. Gordon .html Adam Lindsay Gordon 18331870 Shortly after Gordon's death, his friend and fellowpoet Henry Kendall wrote a poem about him, a poem in which he remembered http://www.ballarat.edu.au/units/fs502/gordon.htm

Adam Lindsay Gordon 1833-1870 For me, it is the bredth and inclusivenes of Gordon's verse, not its nationalism or its imitativeness, that is its distinguishing feature. In both his life and his works, Gordon was a 'renaissance man'. Border Watch, the Australasian, and other papers. He was a romantic lover, leaving love stories behind him in England and Australia for scholarly sticky-beaks to ferret out, not to mention a rash of rumours about a mistress and an illegitimate child. He was a good friend to those who befriended him., and his letters to his South Australian friends John Riddoch and E.G. Blackmore show a confidence that is rare between even close friends. He was a visual artist, in spite of his bad eyes, and his sketches show a real flair for the comic. But above all Gordon was a poet, who wrote a wide variety of verse ballads, lyrics, verse dramas, sporting verse. And all of these were lives that he lived out with intense energy and passion, making him truly a renaissance man. Yet I think the phrase can be applied to him in a more specific sense as well.

19. Adam Lindsay Gordon Preface Adam Lindsay Gordon Britishborn Australian Steeple-Chase Rider and Poet ~~~1833-1870~~~.Adam Lindsay Gordon's Biographical Notes by Marcus Clarke. http://www.krackatinni.netfirms.com/Adam-Lindsay-Gordon.html

This site is hosted by Netfirms Web Hosting Adam Lindsay Gordon British-born Australian Steeple-Chase Rider and Poet Adam Lindsay Gordon's Biographical Notes by Marcus Clarke I do not propose to criticise the volumes which these few lines of preface introduce to the reader. The influence of Browning and of Swinburne upon the writer's taste is plain. There is plainly visible also, however, a keen sense for natural beauty and a manly admiration for healthy living. If in "Ashtaroth" and "Bellona" we recognise the swing of a familiar metre, in such poems as "The Sick Stockrider" we perceive the genuine poetic instinct united to a very clear perception of the loveliness of duty and of labour. "'Twas merry in the glowing morn, among the gleaming grass, To wander as we've wandered many a mile, And blow the cool tobacco cloud, and watch the white wreaths pass, Sitting loosely in the saddle all the while; 'Twas merry 'mid the blackwoods, when we spied the station roofs, To wheel the wild scrub cattle at the yard
