   Extractions: [Content] www.literaryheritage.org.uk Home People Places Themes ... Site map 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:

    Extractions: 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.
