Reading the text, I was captured for the rest of the day. Besides the exhilaration that historians always feel on coming across an old and little known manuscript, the story that Carrington told read differently from the standard histories of Ngāi Tahu written by nineteenth-century scholars…’ links category: history book detail add to basket 1 2
