Heartlands - New Zealand Historians Write About Where History Happened
Author(s): Kynan Gentry (ed.); Gavin McLean (ed.)
New Zealand Historians Write About Where History Happened A number of New Zealand’s leading historians write about their own favourite historical places – where the past comes alive. Special events or times in our history are linked with their own personal memories and the physical presence of these places today. Anne Salmond muses on her home town of Gisborne, Jock Phillips visits Wanganui, John Wilson recalls adventures on Stewart Island, Michael Kelly reflects on the Basin Reserve, and the fate of the Kiwis at Gallipoli are relived by Ian McGibbon.
