The Coming of the Pakeha to Auckland ProvinceThe coming of the pakeha to Auckland province traces, as the title suggests the development of pakeha settlement in the Province. The book falls into four sections. In the first John Horsman considers the period before New Zealand became part of the British Empire. This was the time when whalers, traders and missionaries made the first contact with the country and its people. In the second part the author shows that settlement was generally unorganised until the Maori Wars, when the Provincial and Central Governments took a greater part in encouraging immigration and settlement. Part 3 describes how Auckland grew and how settlement was extended to the more accessible areas of the Province. Mr Horsman deals with the twentieth century and the steady progress on both the rural and urban scene in Part 4. The highlight of the latter part of this period is the growth of Auckland City itself. |
