Summary
Early New Zealand was a magnet for explorers, adventurers and entrepreneurs - those who wanted to go beyond the edge of the civilised world and find out what it had to offer. These eye-witness accounts are written by the first Europeans to come to New Zealand: from Abel Tasman in 1642 and naturalist Joseph Banks in 1769 to the sealers and whalers, missionaries, traders, artists, scientists and adventurers of the early 1800s. They include the stories of New Zealand's first European settlement, the first Māori to visit England, living as an outsider in a Māori world, and of strange journeys through an unmapped and often dangerous land.
Note
"The stories in this book have been garnered from personal accounts by the first Europeans to visit or settle in New Zealand"--[P.7].
"First published by The Bush Press in 1994 as Adventurous Times in Old New Zealand"--T.p. verso.
