Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 254 pages. Spine fadedPalmerston North is known to New Zealanders today and to its increasingly num erous overseas visitors as the urban focus of the prosperous and beautiful Manaw atu farmlands; and as a university city of 52,000 inhabitants; and as a model of farsighted planning by enterprising pio…neers. Visitors and even residents seldo m pause to consider that the bustling city, the orderly countryside, have been c arved out from the great primeval forests that reigned the land until a bare one hundred years ago. How all this was done, and through what dogged persistence, and by what concerted efforts by the pioneers, is here recounted by Dr George Pe tersen, himself a citizen of Palmerston North for fifty-two years and an histori an of the Scandinavian pioneers who played so vital a part in establishing the c ity and its surrounding pastures of the Manawatu. This is the proud record of a century of development. It deserved to be written, as it has been written, as a tribute to a city's Maori and Pakeha progenitors and a challenge to their descen dants.-Dust jacket.

Hardcover. Condizione: VG+. Condizione sovraccoperta: VG+. 1st. Palmerston North is one of New Zealand's larger inland cities and this history of its development from the first European exploration in the 1840s, with pioneerr settlers gradually taking up land in the area, which was involved in much dispute and negotiation with t…he Maori. Thus it was not until the 1870s that formal local government was introduced to the Manawatu region, of which Palemerston North developed as the major centre. In Petersen's excellent centennial history of this centre the progress of the greater Manawatu area is an integral component, so his work also takes in much regional history. The introduction consists an outline of the geological and landforms of the Manawatu by Norman Whatman. Subject matter for the 21other chapters include the pre-European background, the land disputes, industries, transport including railway construction, local government and civic affairs and Palmerston North's university city status. A fine example of a well compiled and illustrated local history. 254 pages including bibliography, index, 90 b/w illustrations, mainly photos, some art etc, five maps or plans, decorated e/papers. Blue hard covers with gilt spine tirles VG+, ditto text block, no inscriptions., Wrapround pictorial DJ VG+ with hint weart spine top. Photos, Art , Maps (illustratore).
