Summary: "Historian Paul Moon provides a captivating and intimate account of New Zealand in the 1850s. He shines a powerful light on this previously obscured decade and in doing so, has illuminated one of the most significant periods in the country's history, with an eye for colourful detail and often wry observations of the personalities and events of the time."--wadsworthsbooks.co.nz.
