Another episode down under: Andrew George Scott is best remembered to history as the enigmatic “Captain Moonlite”, and the story of his short but eventful life is a fascinating tale of personal conscience, colonialism, and criminality. Born in Ireland, he was taken by his family to New Zealand, became a military man, attempted to become a priest, robbed a bank, toured as an inspirational speaker, held up a sheep station, and requested to be buried in the arms of his lover.
