ABOUT
Signed by the author.
A meticulously detailed, authoritative record chronicling the founding and early development of Hamilton, New Zealand 1864-1874.
It documents the transition of the region from a strategic, tense military outpost manned by militiamen on the Waikato River frontier at the end of the New Zealand Wars into a stable colonial settlement.
It covers the hardships faced by early military settlers, including poverty, the constant threat of incursions from the neighboring King Country (Te Rohe Pōtae), and sparse government support. Norris explores the human details of daily life, recording how early communities worked together to construct roading networks, build the first schools and churches, establish libraries, and even design regional horse racing tracks
Illustrated with monochrome images, includes maps on end papers.
