A Spring in the Canterbury Settlement

By C Warren Adams

A remarkable piece of New Zealand colonial history. First published in 1853, this is C Warren Adams's firsthand account of his arrival at Lyttelton and his three months travelling through the Canterbury Settlement — taking in Heathcote, Christchurch, Kaiapoi, and Rangiora in the earliest days of European settlement.

Illustrated with wonderful fold-out pencil sketches that bring the landscape and era to life, this is a beautiful and rare edition of one of Canterbury's earliest travel accounts.

Condition: Hardback with dust jacket in great condition.
