ABOUT
Captures the challenging reality of New Zealand’s early colonial medical landscape.
A description of the manner of life, trials, and difficulties of some of the pioneer doctors and explores the brutal physical demands placed on early colonial doctors, who traveled immense distances on horseback or on foot across unformed tracks, flooded rivers, and rugged backcountry to reach patients.
Focuses heavily on individual pioneer medical figures arriving during the mid-to-late 19th century, covering their training, character quirks, and contributions to local settlements.
