History of the war in the north of New Zealand against the chief Heke, in the year 1845.

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "This little tale is an endeavour to call back some shadows from the past: a picture of things which have left no record but this imperfect sketch. The old settlers of New Zealand-my fellow pioneers-will, I hope, recognize the likeness. To those who have more recently sought these shores, I hope it may be interesting. To all it is respectfully presented."--Preface

    "A delightful but extravagant whimsy in which Maning records his version of the campaign as through the eyes and tongue of a participant on Heke's side. He continually projects his own views and opinions on the operations and, apart from the banality of the conclusion, successfully sustains the illusion to the end"--Bagnall, 3340.
