In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Book taped spine and some paper repairs to the cover. A small amount of contemporary marginalia. Ink inscription. Some very light foxing. Some tanning. Fold out very good map at the rear. Elsdon Best combines descriptions of Lake Waikaremoana and the surrounding country with the history, t…raditions and legends of Tuhoe. Much of the historical material was gathered directly from Tuhoe informants, including accounts of ancestors, settlements, battles and places associated with the lake. Best also recounts a journey through Tuhoe country, describing the landscape and communities encountered along the way. The work is particularly valuable as an early record of oral histories and traditions collected while Best was living and working in the region.
