About this title.

Pioneer Tales Of Old New Plymouth Murray Moorhead The pain and triumphs of our early settlers. With meticulous research and some humourous anecdotes, Murray brings to life the colour, the pain and the triumphs of our early settlers in the place they referred to as 'The Garden of New Zealand'. Written with great sensitivity, this story gives you an amazing insight into the lives of the early pioneers. It follows their arrival in a land scarred by two decades of bitter intertribal fighting. Within twenty years they were to be involved in the turmoil of New Zealand's first interracial war (Taranaki War 1860-61). These are the stories of the first settlers and neighbouring Maori communities and their turbulent relationships. Pioneer Tales is the first in a series of three books. It is followed by Colonial Tales, with Settler Tales being the third. Each book covers a different period of our history.
