By His Own Merits Sir John Hall, Pioneer Pastoralist and Premier By Jean Garner

Publisher: Dryden Press, 1995, Hororata. First Edition. Very Good hardback with dust jacket. Slight rubbing to edges, name to ffep.

"This is the life story of a man who was a major woolgrower, one of the first exporters of frozen meat to Britain and a promoter of the dairy industry. He was also effectively Christchurch's first mayor, the longest serving member of the Canterbury Provincial Council and a politician, for nearly forty years, in the General Assembly. The book is well illustrated with most of the photographs coming from the Hall family collection." - from dustjacket blurb. .
