Henry Arthur "Harry" Readford (sometimes spelt Redford) (December 1841 – 12 March 1901), was an Australian stockman, drover and cattle thief. Although Readford himself never used, and had never been associated with the moniker, Rolf Boldrewood indicated that the 'Captain Starlight' character, in his 1882–83 novel Robbery Under Arms, was a composite of several infamous people of the era, including Readford and several bushrangers. Readford's 1870 cattle drive was a major story arc in the book.

  • Henry Arthur Readford (* 1841 in Mudgee, New South Wales, Australien; † 12. März 1901 in Corella Creek, Northern Territory), auch Harry Redford oder Captain Starlight genannt, war ein australischer Viehdieb und Volksheld. Redford wurde in Australien überaus bekannt, indem er im Jahre 1870 eine nach Schätzungen 600 bis 1000 Rinder große Herde stahl und über mehr als 1200 Kilometer durch das Outback trieb. Die Herde verkaufte er anschließend für £ 5000 und wurde vor Gericht vom Tatvorwurf des Diebstahls freigesprochen. (de)
