ABOUT
Describes the history of Akaroa in the South Island, a small settlement on the Banks Peninsula founded by French settlers in 1840.
Thomas Lindsay Buick (1865-1938) became interested in New Zealand history while working as a political journalist in Wellington, and became an influential figure in the field. He went on to write twelve books and numerous pamphlets on the early history of the country and was elected a fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 1914.
In the same year, New Zealand became part of the British Empire, and much of Buick's account focuses on the interaction and disputes between the French and British settlers. The book also includes the history of the local Maori tribes.
Includes monochrome images and illustrations, portrait on title page, fold old map on end paper, decorated end papers.
