Overview

Excerpt from Old Marlborough: Or the Story of a Province The purpose which has animated me in writing this book has been a desire to furnish in popular form a concise historical account of that portion of New Zealand known as the Provincial District of Marlborough; and in placing the result of my labours before a critical public, I am fully cognizant of the fact that it may be urged, with some truth, that, not being an Old settler, I am scarcely the person best qualified to undertake the compilation of such a record, or at least Of that portion dealt with in the last two chap ters, but as no old settler has volunteered for the work, I may be pardoned for venturing to assume the responsibility Of performing a task which, if not undertaken now, will soon be impossible. To adequately tell the story of this province since European settlement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
