i earned my url by only ever rereading specific selected chapters from the first 3 books and pretending i didn't know they made a tv show of it and frankly people just need to respect that

This might be totally out of the blue and maybe not up your alley but do you have anything on Graham Gore? 👉👈
I do! (I helped write the Franklin Wiki thing on him because, your honor, I do love him very much.) I wish I knew more, but I haven’t dedicated as much time to researching him as I’d like. ;u;
William Battersby (yes, THAT William Battersby; RIP) did a really nice write-up about Gore in 2009, showing that he was definitely looking into Gore’s background. You can also cross-reference quite a bit–as well as learn about a really wild journey–through the volumes of John Lort Stokes and his time researching in Australia. The Stokes account is also the source of the story about Graham almost blowing up while hunting cockatoos, and it’s framed hilariously. Here’s the official Australian entry on Graham’s oil painting of Burial Reach (with fun zoom features!). But some of my absolute favorite stuff is Richard Lamb’s two-part feature on the history of the Gore family, which includes short entries on Graham’s father, older brother, and himself. It also marked the first time I’ve seen Graham’s name on a headstone!
