Using quotes and recollections of the pioneers themselves this book brings to life what conditions were like in nineteenth century New Zealand. It deals with their reactions upon arrival in the new land, their houses, food, cooking, clothes, transport, religion, social and sporting activities, and their effect on the environment. It covers their relations with the natives, the creation of farms and the founding of different types of towns.

By their sacrifices, hard work, perseverance and enterprise, as well as the values that they brought with them from Britain, theirs was the generation that created modern New Zealand. It is a story of both adventure and achievement.
