About This Item

New Zealand: Whitcombe & Tombs, 1963. 189 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H) - medium purple boards with silver lettering on spine. B&w plates, maps. "(Presents) a selection of individual achievements spanning the two hundred years between Tasman's discovery of New Zealand in the mid-seventeenth century and Barrington's marathon trek in search of gold in the mid-nineteenth century. A final chapter deals with 'Mr Explorer Douglas', whose astonishing exploits belong to a somewhat later period, and who died less than fifty years ago. These (and others which might also have been included, had there been space) stand out as milestones along a route of splendid achievement which has transformed two remote islands into the proud Dominion they constitute today." Chapters include: Hore-Ta-Te-Taniwha Meets James Cook; Massacre in Treachery Bay; A Sermon in Treachery Bay; The Unpredicatable Maori; Dieffenbach's Ascent of Mt Egmont; Brunner and 'The Great Journey'; Barrington Looks for Gold. Slight bump to top edge of front board, light wrinkling to top/bottom of spine, one tiny corner bump, light fading to spine. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket.
