Summary
"This book traces the journey overland from Auckland to Taupo of the Governor of New Zealand, Sir George Grey, and the Upoko Ariki (paramount chief) of Tuwharetoa, Iwakau Te Heu Heu, with their parties, in the summer of 1849-1850. Through the use of little-known contemporary diaries and drawings, Alex Frame sheds light on the interaction between the respective cultures of Grey and Iwikau - in particular as to custom and law - in a period before the descent into hostilities between Government and the tribes."--BOOK JACKET.
