* About Adam Lindsay Gordon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Gordon_Lindsay)
Poet, jockey, policeman, and politician Adam Lindsay Gordon (October 19, 1833 – June 23, 1870) was Australian. Gordon was born in Fayal, Azores, to Captain Adam Durnford Gordon and his first cousin Harriet Gordon, both of whom were descended from Adam Gordon of Auchindoun, of the poem "Edom o Gordon". Captain Gordon, a retired Bengal cavalryman who taught Hindustani, was in the Azores for his wife's health. In 1840, they moved to Cheltenham, England, from Madeira. Gordon was sent to Cheltenham College at age seven in 1841, but after a year he was moved to the Rev. Samuel Ollis Garrard's school in Gloucestershire. Charles George Gordon (no related, afterwards "Gordon of Khartoum") and Thomas Bland Strange (later "Gunner Jingo") were his classmates and friends at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich in 1848. Like Richard Henry Horne, Gordon was expelled for being strong in athletics but neither studious or disciplined. Gordon re-joined Cheltenham College.

He departed mid-1852, although the claim that he was dismissed from Cheltenham is untrue. Gordon attended Royal Grammar School Worcester in 1852. Gordon led a wild and restless life, accrued debts, and worried his father, who finally decided in 1853 to send him to Australia to join the mounted police with a letter of introduction to the Governor.

Gordon fell in love with seventeen-year-old Jane Bridges, who told his biographers the story sixty years later. Before departing for Australia on August 7, 1853, Gordon confessed his love. "With characteristic recklessness he promised to sacrifice his trip to Australia, and all his father's intentions for giving him a fresh start in life, if she would tell him not to leave, or pledge to be his wife, or even give him some hope." Though she admired the timid, gorgeous lad and remembered him throughout her life, she could not do this. Gordon's only romance. "To my Sister" an "Early Adieux," penned three days before he left England, show that Gordon realised he had behaved poorly.
