Description

Old Whaling Days - A History of Southern New Zealand from 1830 to 1840 by Robert McNab. ' Reprint of edition first published 1913. This is the story of New Zealand's wildest days, when French and American ships as well as British scoured the coastline for the highly-prized sperm whale; when violent crimes went unpunished because there were no laws; when a British sea captain helped Te Rauparaha to slaughter an Akaroa chief and his people. Robert McNab travelled the world in his search for the letters, newspaper articles and ship's logs which make this an eye-witness account of the most interesting, but least recorded period of New Zealand's history.' The book has light general wear but remains tight and bright. Previous owners name or inscription on inside front page.
