Download or read book I Shall Not Die written by James Belich and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Straddling the Maori and European worlds of the 1860s, Titokowaruwas one of New Zealand's greatest leaders. A brilliant strategist, he used every device to save the Taranaki people from European invasion. When peaceful negotiation failed, he embarked on a stunning military campaign against government forces. His victories were many, before the battle he lost. Although he was 'forgotten by the Pakeha as a child forgets a nightmare', his vision was one that would endure.Titokowaru was born into the Ngati Ruanuitribe of South Taranaki in 1823. Trained as a leader by his people, he was converted to Christianity in 1843, taking the name Joseph Orton. For nearly 20 years a pacifist and Methodist teacher, he eventually became disillusioned with Christianity, and joined the bitter fighting of the period -protesting against continual land loss and the erosion of his people's rights. Titokowaru returned to pacifism under the leadership of Te Ua Haumene, whose mantle he inherited on the death of the Pai Marire prophet. Through 1866 Titokowa rulead a hikoi of peace, trying to heal the wounds of war in South Taranaki. The mission failing, Titokowaru's war broke out, on 9 June 1868. A brilliant strategist, Titokowaru nearly succeeded in repelling the colonial forces. At the last moment, however, his supporters failed him... in a mystery that has never been solved. As James Belich suggests, it was perhaps the old traditions of his people that undermined Titokowaru's feats of leadership in wars that were to shape the country's history. For he was truly a man of two worlds, negotiating both with an extraordinary dexterity.

Book Otiwhiti Station

Download or read book Otiwhiti Station written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Duncans have been farming Otiwhiti in the Turakina River valley since the 1880s, when they purchased the land from the local iwi. The backstory of this station is rich and fascinating. The remarkable, generous family that has farmed this unforgiving Rangitikei hill country has also directed the farm's profits towards charitable projects, most notably the Duncan Hospital, which pioneered treatment for polio patients in the 1940s and 1950s. Centering on Tom (T.A.) Duncan, and his wife Jeannie, the founders and driving forces behind the Duncan Trust, Otiwhiti Sation chronicles the fortunes of the farm from the turn of last century to the present day, and also charts the story of the Duncan Hospital. Family anecdotes and tales about the legendary personalities associated with Otiwhiti and its sister farm Otairi pepper the text. Part family history, part social and farming history, Otiwhiti Station is an engaging look at a New Zealand family that is not only deeply connected to its local community but has also made a difference to the well-being of the country as a whole. Beautifully illustrated with new photography and engaging historical and family photographs, this book is a heartland celebration.
