I read this book as research for my blog post on Tuturau and Te Puoho.

This was a really good overview of Te Puoho's epic overland march from the top of the South Island to deep in the Otago territory of the Ngai Tahu. Atholl Anderson has synthesised a lot of disparate and often conflicting sources into a coherent narrative. He focuses a lot on the facts - the route, the numbers, the names of participants, without much focus on the background or context of the events or other more subjective matters. ( )
