documentary heritage
  • Description

    "A pictorial glimpse into the hard times faced by our pioneers. It is an expansion on "The Gumfield Collection" Published in 2015 with 50 additional pages and a large section on the Northern Wairoa. It shows some of the challenges our pioneers faced with beautifully clear images, a legacy of the pioneering photographers Arthur and Richard Northwood, S?imun Ujdur and Tudor Collins.

    The author endeavoured to pinpoint many of the old gun camps and significant drains that were dug in the early 1900s. These have been carefully recorded by map maker Tim Nolan"--Back cover
