This book is for the bone-diggers – those folk interested in the roots, in the old connections, and for those who have listening ears. This book explores the relationships that unfolded on the West Coast of Te Wai Pounamu the South Island of New Zealand, in the mid-19th century as hitherto untouched parts of the country were accessed by foreigners with the help of Maori guides.
What happens when folk from opposite ends of the earth with differing geographies, holding vastly different values, languages and world views mix with each other crossing the Southern Alps and eventually settling on the West Coast.
