Small pen name. Very light foxing to the endpapers and closed page edges. Content is very clean. The book presents Busby as a pivotal but often overlooked figure in New Zealand?s colonial history. Ramsden calls him ?New Zealand?s forgotten man,? highlighting how Busby?s diplomatic efforts laid groundwork for British sovereignty while trying to protect M?ori interests. The biography traces Busby?s life from his birth in Edinburgh in 1801, through his migration to Australia and New Zealand, his marriage to Agnes Dow, and his return to England where he died in 1871.
