Amazon Top 500 Reviewer<br><br>My forebears lived in the wider area throughout the period covered in the book (and one was killed in the NZ Wars) - so I could have been a very hard-sell but instead I loved the whole exciting story. I'm very happy to recommend this book and the second in the series and roll on the publication of the next one. <strong>Val Burr Local Historian Palmerston North New Zealand</strong></p>
