ABOUT
A significant historical memoir written by Lady Mary Ann Martin (wife of New Zealand's first Chief Justice, Sir William Martin.
Compiled from her personal diaries and early magazine articles, the work covers her 34-year residence in New Zealand (1842–1874). It offers an invaluable, firsthand colonial perspective on Māori society and early European contact.
Lady Martin witnessed foundational moments in early Auckland history, including the massive 1844 Remuera Māori feast, the arrival of northern refugees in 1845, and the devastating societal impact of the Waikato Wars. The book tracks her extensive travels alongside missionary groups through the Bay of Islands, Waimate North, Tauranga, and the Waikato.
Includes monochrome fine line drawings.
