Description

The Journal of Henry Sewell 1853-7, Volume II May 1854 - May 1857 Edited by W. David McIntyre. This second volume of Henry Sewell's Journal, 1853-7, deals mainly with his experiences as a parliamentarian in Auckland, though there are excursions back to Canterbury to witness the final completion of his salvage operation on the accounts of the Canterbury Association. Away from politics (and Auckland), the chief highlight of Volume II is a full-length description of a sheep drove down across the Canterbury Plains as far as Timaru, featuring hazardous river-crossings and comments on early station life. And there is another diversion to Akaroa, during which the diarist meets the famous cadet runholders Tripp and Acland and shares their exploration of Banks Peninsula.
