"When a small group of three English families landed in the bay below Rangihoua pa under the protection of its chief and inhabitants, the story of Pewhairangi began. It is the story of New Zealand's first permanent European settlement, at Hohi, and the church mission that it represented and other mission communities subsequently established in the Bay of Islands, at Kerikeri, Paihia, Waimate and Te Puna. It is a story of Ngapuhi and Pakeha engagement, as neighbours, over four decades. More than anything else, the rich fabric of the book is a story of people - of the chiefs Te Pahi, Ruatara, Hongi Hika, Tareha, Korokoro; of the missionaries John King, Thomas Kendall, James Kemp, John Butler, George Clarke, William Yate, and Henry Williams; of the mastermind Samuel Marsden; and of the wives and children of all these men, including Hongi's wife Turikatuku and daughter Hariata, Hannah King and Hannah Butler, Hone Heke and George Clarke junior, Marianne Williams and Charlotte Kemp. And, documenting the activity in the Bay of Islands were the artists, both amateur and professional, whose works supply many of the book's fine illustrations"-- Back cover.
