Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 254 pages. Spine fadedPalmerston North is known to New Zealanders today and to its increasingly num erous overseas visitors as the urban focus of the prosperous and beautiful Manaw atu farmlands; and as a university city of 52,000 inhabitants; and as a model of farsighted planning by enterprising pionee…rs. Visitors and even residents seldo m pause to consider that the bustling city, the orderly countryside, have been c arved out from the great primeval forests that reigned the land until a bare one hundred years ago. How all this was done, and through what dogged persistence, and by what concerted efforts by the pioneers, is here recounted by Dr George Pe tersen, himself a citizen of Palmerston North for fifty-two years and an histori an of the Scandinavian pioneers who played so vital a part in establishing the c ity and its surrounding pastures of the Manawatu. This is the proud record of a century of development. It deserved to be written, as it has been written, as a tribute to a city's Maori and Pakeha progenitors and a challenge to their descen dants.-Dust jacket.
