Spine titled in gilt: "BURROWS - HEKE'S WAR, 1886." "I well remember Sir William remarking that, although 'Heke's War was confined to one part of the Island, and his followers were comparatively few, yet it represented a 'crisis' in the early history of the colonization of the country; and that the facts and circumstances connected therewith ought not to be lost to our children.'" - from the Preface. [References: Bagnall 803 - "Significant contemporary impressions [.] considerably expanded from original briefer diary entries"; Hocken p. 366 - "As a missionary, Mr. Burrows was in the midst of the disturbed district. He was present at the outbreak at Kororareka, and then at Okaihau and Ohaeawai. He was in constant contact with both sides."].
