• 1819 - 1965.

David Millar traces the main developments of a NZ city. Politics, religion, geography, economics and social history all have their place. He assists the reader by placing this outline in a context of developments elsewhere within the country. He does so in an easily readable manner, and sets it all with a gentle humour. His research has unearthed stories full of human interest, some surprising, others disturbing – all of importance. He has chosen photos to illustrate specific events within the text, and also provides clear maps. An ample appendix of reference material is provided for the more specific reader.
