Description

In the year 1870, the Renshaws emigrate to New Zealand during the period of the war with the natives. Wilfrid, a strong, self-reliant, courageous lad, is the mainstay of the household. He has for his friend Mr. Atherton, a botanist and naturalist of herculean strength and unfailing nerve and humor. In the adventures among the Maoris, there are many breathless moments in which the odds seem hopelessly against the party, but they succeed in eventually establishing themselves happily in one of the pleasant New Zealand valleys.

Still, the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand were courageous and resourceful fighters, who strongly resisted English settlement for many years. Their mountainous land and guerrilla style fighting made them formidable foes. This is a rich account of what is known as the Hwa Rebellion.
