History of New Zealand and its Inhabitants. NEW.

Don Felice Vaggioli. Translated by John Crockett.

Vaggioli was a Benedictine monk and, while working in Auckland, the Coromandel and Gisborne during the years 1879-87, he observed lifestyles and customs and gathered information about the country’s history. This included first hand accounts of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi and the conflicts in Taranaki and Waikato. First published in Italy in 1896 this account was lost for a century until rediscovered in 1994, when this translation was made.
