Historic Auckland & Northland Richard Wolfe.

Includes index.

"The earliest European interest in New Zealand began in the north of the country, especially in the Bay of Islands. Within a few decades, however, the focus shifted south to the Waitemata Harbour, where New Zealand's largest urban area began as a collection of temporary huts and tents on the foreshore. "Historic Auckland & Northland" is another addition to the sumptuous historical photographic series that showcases the history of New Zealand's regions through fascinating photographs and the informative extended captions. This volume not only tells the stories of important events and people and significant social changes, but also how those in the north of the country lived, worked and played." -- Inside front cover.
