ABOUT
A substantial primary-source record of three decades of missionary work in 19th century New Zealand, drawn from the letters and journals of the Rev. Thomas Samuel Grace of the Church Missionary Society.

Grace’s writings trace his movements through Taupō, Pūkawa, Ōpōtiki, and other central North Island communities during a period of profound cultural, political, and religious change. The documents capture Grace’s close interactions with Māori communities, his experiences during the turbulent 1860s, including the Ōpōtiki incident and the wider conflicts of the New Zealand Wars.
