Gold and sheep are synonymous with the early history of Central Otago, and in this delightful regional history, Robert Gilkison captures the classic stories of diggers and land owners as they test the limits of the land, and the land tests them. Gilkison brings in early Maori history, the gold rushes of the 1860s, bushrangers, natural disasters, the growth of farming, gold dredging and the pioneering of a rich and diverse landscape. First published in 1930, this edition has been beautifully reprinted for the modern reader. 258 page paperback, A5
