More Reading

You should still be reading 'Century of Change' and finishing the 'Missionaries' handout. There are some good books about this period. Belichs 'Making Peoples' has some good material as does Paul Moons 'The Treaty and Its Times" which is in the library and is worth a look. It has some good material, and is easy to read. There are some biographies on Kendall and Marsden about but may be too weighty for our purposes.

We are looking at the "Musket Wars" period this week.

Ron Crosby has written some good books including (surprise surprise) 'The Musket Wars 'and a biography on Hongi Hika called (Wow!) 'Hongi Hika'. Angela Ballara's book 'Taua' is also very good. All cover the period of inter-tribal warfare in great detail, but it is easy to dip into and find some interesting details.

Its only two weeks to the holidays!
