Wanganui is the city at the entrance to what is probably of NZ's most famous river, of the same name. The authors have collaborated to produce a valued history extending back to the arrival of the Maori, according to legend in 950AD, to their own later times, often troubled by inter-tribal conflict, early contacts with European navigators and explorers, although it was not until the 1830s the first sailed into the river seeking trade. Soon many settlers followed and the bulk of the book relates to the colonial development, the land wars and the peace that followed, up to the years post-WWII. Thorough coverage is given to all aspects of development, agriculture, industry, commerce, social and civic, educational, religious and recreation. It is, as the DJ flap notes, a readable general social history, not a listing of facts and dates. First published 1972, this second edition the following year. 318 pages including index, 52 b/w illustrations, mainly photos, five maps/plans. Brown hard covers with gilt spine titles VG, light tape shadows both boards, also on front pastedown, text block excellent, no inscriptions. Wrap-round colour art DJ plastic film protected and VG+.…
