The New Zealand Wars: The Hauhau wars, 1864-1872AMS Press, 1969 - New Zealand "Brought up on the old Waipa frontier soon after the close of the wars, when an uneasy peace existed between European and Maori, James Cowan imbibed much ancient lore as well as recent history from old-time Maori chiefs and warriors.
