Hardcover. Condizione: VG. Condizione sovraccoperta: VG+. Second. Wanganui is the city at the entrance to what is probably of NZ's most famous river, of the same name. The authors have collaborated to produce a valued history extending back to the arrival of the Maori, according to legend in 950AD, to their own later times, often troubled by inter-tribal conflict, early contacts with European navigators and explorers, although it was not until the 1830s the first sailed into the river seeking trade. Soon many settlers followed and the bulk of the book relates to the colonial development, the land wars and the peace that followed, up to the years post-WWII.
