Hardback. Condition: Good. ". This study of the English villagers who made up one major group of assisted immigrants to New Zealand, challenges what has become of the traditional view of the "Vogel" recruits of the 1870s who are still thought of as having being predominantly town dwellers in whose selection standards had been "rather let down". Probing the strong links formed between the immigration drive of the 1870s and the remarkable Revolt of the Field of the English village labourer, with which it coincided almost exactly, Professor Arnold makes the case that the New Zealand countryside has never received a more valuable infusion of rural skills.
