Beskrivelse
Father Antoine Garin was sent to run the remote Mangakahia mission station on the Wairoa River. This is Garin's diary recording his experiences from 1844 to 1846 as he gets to know the Maori in the region. The diary provides vivid accounts of contemporary events, as Garin came dangerously close to the action of the Northern War, and wrote of such prominent figures as Hone Heke and Kawiti as they opposed the new colonial authorities. This is the first full English translation of Garin's surviving Mangakahia journals and letters.
