French Pass and d’Urville Island (book 1), by Olive Baldwin, 1979. Forward – the patience in researching material for this book becomes evident to the reader as the story of d’Urville Island unfolds. Mrs Baldwin being much impressed with the area set it her task to capture in words the history and aura of the place. Her 2 books deal with the history of the settlers, Maori and European, their origins, their religions, their life styles and other relating subjects. The Maori section of the book contains the history of Ngati Koata, the main sub-tribe of Ngati Toa. Previous Tasman Bay writers have made no distinction between the 2 tribes, Mrs Baldwin e Hine, the Ngati Koata are grateful. They wish you well & may ‘God Bless You’ James R. Elkington 1979.
