ABOUT
A deeply researched narrative of the Deans family, whose settlement at Riccarton became one of the foundational stories of Canterbury.
Ogilvie traces their arrival in the 1840s, their establishment of Riccarton Bush and the first substantial farm on the Plains, and their relationships with both Ngāi Tahu and the later Canterbury Association settlers.
The book also follows the Deans legacy beyond the first generation, showing how their land, homestead, and surviving bush became enduring symbols of Christchurch’s origins.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and illustrations.
