Captain Bully Hayes

Captain Bully Hayes is a 1970 Australian book by Frank Clune about Bully Hayes. It has been called "Perhaps the most reliable account of the life of Bully Hayes."

Clune had written about Hayes in an episode of his 1938 radio series Scallywags of the Pacific. He also wrote about him in his 1938 book Free and Easy Land.

Clune worked on the book in 1969. "The trouble is to separate fact and fiction," he said.

Reception
Pacific Island Monthly said "It’s a very readable and useful compilation, and it does put the story of Hayes into clearer and truer focus than anything hitherto published... As put together by Clune, from a mass of often contradictory material, this history of Bully Hayes is readable, lively and colourful."

The Sydney Morning Herald called it "lively reading, full of action."
