Beschreibung
In March 1870 Maori leader Te Kooti swept out of Te Urewera and abducted 218 Whakatohea people from Opape, east of Opotiki, marching them back into rugged bush country. In pursuit the government sent forces from Whanganui and Ngati Porou, who underwent great hardship before finally closing in. In this captivating book, Ron Crosby draws on his decades of tramping in Te Urewera and close consul-tation with Ngati Ira hapu to recount this often-overlooked episode in the closing years of the New Zealand Wars. For the first time precisely locating where the events occurred, Te Kooti''s Last Foray features detailed maps, sketches and photos that set straight the historical record of Ngati Porou and Whanganui involvement and cast new light on Te Kooti.
