ABOUT
Chronicles over a century of 19th-century New Zealand history through the eyes of one of the country's most prominent pioneer families.
Gilbert Mair, the family patriarch, an early trader, sailor, and settler who arrived at the Bay of Islands in 1824 and later established a home at Whangarei.
Robert Mair: details his recollections of the chaotic early days of Kororareka (Russell) and the turbulent establishment of Whangarei.
The prominent brothers heavily involved in the New Zealand Wars. The book draws deeply from their firsthand journals, field notes, and diaries. It details critical events including the Waikato War (the battles of Rangiriri and Ōrākau), the grueling forest campaigns against Te Kooti, the Tarawera eruption, and William's eventual tenure as a Judge of the Native Land Court.
