About This Item
Dunedin, New Zealand: John McIndoe, 1971. "William Gilbert Rees has long been one of the genuinely romantic figures of New Zealands past. One of the first white men to reach Lake Wakatipu and the founder of what has become the beautiful tourist resort of Queenstown, he is remembered particularly for his dominant personality at the time of the gold rushes. The picture most New Zealanders have of him is a big bearded run holder, holding off hungry miners with a loaded revolver as he carefully rationed out inadequate supplies of precious flour." Black bds are clean and unworn (bottom front cnr sl bruised) 156 pages with 6 illus plates, 5 maps and a family tree. DJ sl rubbed to edges, front ep minor age toned due to newspaper clipping laid in. #New Zealand History#. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
