Te Kooti’s Last Foray. NEW.

Ron Crosby.

The first detailed account of the abduction of 218 people from near Opotiki, in the Bay of Plenty, in March 1870, by Maori leader Te Kooti, it was the outcome of this that resulted in his military power being finally broken. The author corrects previous accounts of the episode by highlighting the decisive role of the Whanganui pursuers under Te Kepa. There are illustrations and detailed maps. Land wars history at its best.
