Havelock North - The History of a Village - Matthew Wright

Published 1996 1st edition card covers 290 pages illustrated.

The History of a Village. Havelock North was more than just a small Hawke's Bay town. In a lively and well referenced narrative, Matthew Wright traces 150 years of history, from the first European efforts to buy land in the Te Mata district through to the 1989 local body reforms. Documents used here for the first time bring new insights into early land purchases, and through the letters, diaries, reminiscences and previously unpublished official correspondence of three generations Matthew Wright paints a tale of a community proud to call Havelock North their home.
