Kauri Gum and the Gumdiggers
Seller: BOP Books, Tauranga, New Zealand
Seller rating 1 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: VG+. No Jacket. Photos, Map (illustrator). Third. For New Zealand, from the 1870s to the 1930s, the recovery and export of Kauri gum was an important contributor to the country's economy, At the height of the industry, around 1900, an estimated 20,000 people were engaged on the gumfields, with half working full-time. In the 100 years from 1850 gum valued at 25million pounds was exported, the total weight being 450,000 tons and for the first 50 years it was the Auckland province's most valuable export, ahead of kauri timber, gold and wool. Hayward's book tells the story of this trade, those who worked in it, how they lived and the uses for the gum. This is mainly contained in the extended captions to the dozens of excellent historic photographs used to illustrate the booklet, which is part of the Bush Press "Pictures From the Past" series. First published 1982, re-set new edition1989 with this reprint 1994. 48 pages, illustrated throughout with b/w photos, up to three on some pages, map showing gumfield locations and graph indicating gum production trends. Illustrated card covers VG+, ditto text block, no inscriptions. Seller Inventory # 003617
