Synopsis
Excerpt from A Ride Through the Disturbed Districts of New Zealand; Together With Some Account of the South Sea Islands: Being Selections From the Journals and Letters of Lieut. The Hon. Herbert Meade
The following pages are extracts from my Brother's Journals which he kept while a Lieutenant of H. M. ships 'Curaçoa' and 'Bsk' in Southern waters, four years before he was cut off by a fatal accident in the twenty-seventh year of his age. They were originally printed strictly for private circulation, but are now published at the request of friends connected with New Zealand, as serving to illustrate a curious phase in the history of that colony, and therefore likely to possess more than a merely personal interest. They have been edited in moments taken from the pressure of constant work; and, with the exception of a few trifling corrections, are printed almost as they appear in my Brother's MS.
For the revision of the proofs, so far as regards the Maori spelling and nomenclature, I am indebted to the kindness of Sir George Grey, at whose request, while Governor of New Zealand, the expedition to Like Taupo was undertaken.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a unique glimpse into the history of New Zealand and its people during the 19th century. The author, a British officer, was part of a group that journeyed inland to Lake Taupo in 1864, during a period of conflict between the British and Maori. Through the author's detailed account, readers gain insights into the Maori way of life, their customs, and their struggles against British colonialism. The narrative is rich in vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of New Zealand, including the geysers and hot springs of Ohinemutu. The author also delves into the spiritual beliefs of the Maori, particularly the Pai Marire faith, which played a role in their resistance to British rule. This book offers a valuable perspective on a significant chapter in New Zealand's history, providing a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between the British and Maori.
