Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Gold Discoveries in New Zealand In point of sensational effect, Otago was the first of the old provinces to appeal effectively to tho world. It was to Otago that the first real rush came from the other side, so famous for rushes. But few people in New Zealand are aware that the first discoveries in this country were made in Auckland, and that in the very year of the great discoveries that made a new epoch for the Australian Continent. Hargreaves was thought to have awakened by his finds at Bathurst only the sleeping spirits of the world of gold imprisoned in the rocks and gravels of Ballarat and Bendigo. Who does not remember the impressive picture of Farjeon, who imagined these spirits roused from their Blumber of ages by the sound of tho advancing picket? "Click, click, click," as they came nearer and nearer; and as they heard, the spirits grew wilder and wilder, welcoming the hour of their deliverance, ready to sweep into the fields of light and motion. What those fields were, what forces of energy and power were let loose, what vast changes were effected in the fate of the great continent by the side of the Tasman Sea, what fortunes were made and lost - these things and the tremendous changes they brought in their fervid train are part of another story - the story of the transmutation of Australia. It is one of the most striking stories in the history of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authored by award-winning historian Jock Phillips, The History of New Zealand in 100 Objects is gripping, inclusive, often revelatory and deeply human. A colourful and characterful retelling of our shared past, relevant to today, particular to all of us. The sewing kete of an unknown 18th-century Maori woman; the Endeavour cannons that fired on waka in 1769; the bagpipes of an Irish publican Paddy Galvin; the school uniform of Harold Pond, a Napier Tech pupil in the Hawke’s Bay quake; the Biko shields that tried to protect protestors during the Springbok tour in 1981; Winston Reynolds’ remarkable home-made Hokitika television set, the oldest working TV in the country; the soccer ball that was a tribute to Tariq Omar, a victim of the Christchurch Mosque shootings, and so many more – these are items of quiet significance and great personal meaning, taonga carrying stories that together represent a dramatic, full-of-life history for everyday New Zealanders.

Download or read book Goldrush to the Thames Abridged written by Kae Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, little was known about who the miners were that came to the Thames during the early days of the gold rush in 1867. Still less was known about how they went about finding gold high in the ranges behind the Thames township. They flocked in, firstly from Auckland and then from all parts of New Zealand and the wider world beyond. Before long, there were thousands of hard-working diggers frantically excavating a vast network of underground tunnels, seeking those elusive quartz leaders and reefs that contained the gold. Some struck gold bonanzas and were set for life, others burrowed for months in barren earth and spent all their savings just trying to keep themselves from starvation.This book is an abridged version of the first edition of GOLDRUSH TO THE THAMES, NEW ZEALAND 1867 - 1869 that was published earlier in 2017. It contains essentially the same story of the Thames Goldrush as the original edition but has less detail on individual miners and their claims while many maps, diagrams, photos, appendices, glossaries and indexes have been removed. This edition is intended for the more casual reader while the original is now considered a reference book for the genealogist or serious student of the early Thames Goldrush.Both editions of this book are designed to link with the online database of Miner's Rights and claims in the 'Goldrush Online' website at www.KaeLewis.com. The book goes a long way towards answering the questions: Who were the diggers? Where were their claims? How did they find the gold? Did they find any?It is largely based on contemporary reports and stories from people who were on the goldfields. Some sources are archived letters and diaries while much of it comes from contemporary newspaper articles. The language in newspapers of that era is difficult for modern readers to wade through but skilful editing, interspersed with explanations, makes this book quite readable and fascinating while at the same time it documents the life of the miners at Thames during the goldrush era of 1867-69. Numerous photographs add colour and detail.
