Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. A very good clean copy in a very good jacket. Drawing on family diaries, memoirs and extensive research, Thora Parker traces the history of her forebears through the first century of organised European settlement in New Zealand. Beginning with the family's arriva…l among the early colonists in 1840, the narrative follows successive generations as they confront the hardships and opportunities of colonial life. Episodes include pioneering land development, shipwreck, the Tarawera eruption, William Jenkins's involvement in taking a Māori party to Victorian England in 1863, and later innovations in dairy farming. Illustrated with photographs, portraits and facsimiles, this substantial family history provides an absorbing personal perspective on New Zealand's social and agricultural development between 1840 and 1940.
