Excerpt from Letters From Canterbury, New Zealand To all those gentlemen I am only too happy to have an opportunity of publicly acknowledging my obliga tion, as well as to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, the Provincial Secretary, and the surveyors and other officials in their respective offices, from whom I have obtained very valuable assistance. I have taken no pains to render my book amusing to the mere fireside traveller, who may easily find plenty of well-written and very interesting accounts of New Zealand scenery, national customs, massacres in the days of heathenism, and missionary labours and success at a more recent period. But I shall be more than satisfied, if those who really think of settling among us find in it any information which may prove useful in the way either of direction or caution; and both, they may be assured, will be needed by them, if they wish to avoid the mistakes into which most of us fell in the early days of the settlement.

Henry William Harper was a New Zealand Anglican priest in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was a vicar of Hokitika and Timaru. From 1875 to 1911, he was Archdeacon of Timaru. In his numerous and detailed letters, which now constitute this book, the author noted different aspects of a priest's life in New Zealand and other colonial countries. His letters give a lot of valid historical data suitable for research. Thus, he describes the issues of the church service organization, travels and nature of New Zealand and other lands, the looks and traditions of the Maori people, partly dissimilated in times of Harper. Being a collection of different data and topics people usually mix in their letters, the presented here book is an exciting insight into life in the period of New Zealand colonization as it was.

Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... APPENDIX. A. Journey from Nelson to the Port Cooper Plains. BY E. J. LEE. Monday, Dec 22nd, 1851. Started from Bedborough's run about half-past eight, and, after passing over Mouat's flat, which is very stony, got safely to Tinline's run. Eeached Todd's warre about six o'clock, and determined to camp for the night. I was agreeably surprised to find the difficulties of this part of my road so much less than I had been given to expect. A very tolerable bridle path may easily be made, but a dray road would scarcely, I think, be possible. Dec. 23rd. Started at five o'clock, hoping to avoid the sandflies, which were in clouds and most voracious: they were up before me, however, and glad enough I was to start from their neighbourhood. The road, after rising the hills, was very rough, but gradually improved; and after an hour and a half's travelling I made Bolton's warre, where I had a capital breakfast of damper and mutton. Bolton set me on my route as far as the Hodder, and I got on very well until I crossed the river below the junction of the Grey, when, trying to ascend the opposite bank, my mare lost her footing and rolled headlong down, taking two turns before she got to her feet. I thought it was all over with her, but was glad to escape a more serious accident at the expense of my cooking utensils, which were more or less smashed; the mare was fortunately not hurt. The country has to-day been most beautiful for sheep-feeding: I could not have conceived any thing finer. Dec. 24th. Started at a little after five o'clock, and made my way over a range of hills into Castle Creek, where I breakfasted. Went on until I reached the gorge, where the hills again drew in very close, and there, finding my mare tired, I determined to camp and give...

"This remarkable collection of letters provides a rare female perspective on life in colonial Canterbury, when letter writing was the only way to keep a close relationship with family members on the other side of the world. The writers were four women of the Hall family. ... Sarah, Agnes and Rose were married to three Hall brothers, and the youngest correspondent was Agnes' daughter, Agnes Mildred. The recipient was the elder women's sister-in-law, Grace Neall, in England."--Back cover.

2013 Best International Book Award, Mormon History Association From the arrival of the first Mormon missionaries in New Zealand in 1854 until stakehood and the dedication of the Hamilton New Zealand Temple in 1958, Tiki and Temple tells the enthralling story of Mormonism’s encounter with the genuinely different but surprisingly harmonious Maori culture. Mormon interest in the Maori can be documented to 1832, soon after Joseph Smith organized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in America. Under his successor Brigham Young, Mormon missionaries arrived in New Zealand in 1854, but another three decades passed before they began sustained proselytising among the Maori people—living in Maori pa, eating eels and potatoes with their fingers from communal dishes, learning to speak the language, and establishing schools. They grew to love—and were loved by—their Maori converts, whose numbers mushroomed until by 1898, when the Australasian Mission was divided, the New Zealand Mission was ten times larger than the parent Australian Mission. The New Zealand Mission of the Mormon Church was virtually two missions—one to the English-speaking immigrants and their descendants, and one to the tangata whenu—“people of the land.” The difficulties this dichotomy caused, as both leaders and converts struggled with cultural differences and their isolation from Church headquarters, make a fascinating story. Drawing on hitherto untapped sources, including missionary journals and letters and government documents, this absorbing book is the fullest narrative available of Mormonism’s flourishing in New Zealand. Although written primarily for a Latter-day Saint audience, this book fills a gap for anyone interested in an accurate and coherent account of the growth of Mormonism in New Zealand.
