ABOUT
History of the settlement of Picton in the Marlborough Sounds.
As High as The Hills - this was the value placed upon the site of future Picton by the paramount Maori Chief, Ropoama, when in 1850 he sold the land to the New Zealand company for settlement.
But this centennial history of Picton begins long before, with Maori legend and the first Maori inhabitants, with Captain Cook and the early whalers and explorers in the Marlborough Sounds. As the port of entry to the South Island, Picton has welcomed countless visitors. The people who made Picton, however, are the heroes of this history. This book is a memorial to the many New Zealanders who helped shape and shepherd the development of Picton.
Illustrated with monochrome images.
