In 1885, Andrew Barton Paterson began publishing his poetry in the Sydney edition of The Bulletin under the pseudonym of "The Banjo", the name of a favourite horse. His first poem is believed to be El Mahdi to the Australian Troops, published in 1885. Many other, less well-known poems followed. In 1890 Paterson wrote "The Man From Snowy River", a poem which caught the heart of the nation, and in 1895 a collection of his works was published under that name.
