Mungo Park’s Trunk.

Nola Easdale.

The interesting and complex history of colonial surveyor Robert Park who arrived at Port Nicholson (Wellington) in 1839. He fathered three families and this is their history, and that of their children. It also solves the mystery of how a trunk that once belonged to the explorer of West Africa, Mungo Park, ended up in the possession of a Maori family in Petone.
