NZ Gold & Mining History | Secondhand

Windows on a Chinese Past has been planned as a four-volume work, of which this is the opening volume, delving into how the Cantonese gold seekers and their heirs settled in New Zealand. 

Also, in a particularly interesting chapter, the author describes revisiting the Cantonese towns and villages from which the original gold seekers emigrated, and compares Chinese and New Zealand lifestyles and philosophies.

Illustrated with maps on the end papers.

Fine. Signed by the author.
