Item description from seller

The European settlement of the Wellsford area (Lower Northland) effectively began in 1862 with the arrival of the first Albertlanders, a group of "non-conformists" gathered from many parts of the British Isles under the NZ Special Settlements scheme. Already, however, a number of settlers had become established in the area. The Albertlanders were to occupy land they were to be granted ownership of after four years of occupation. The first ship carrying the new settlers arrived in NZ in early September 1862 followed by another in mid-September and one in mid-November, three more came in 1863, one each in 1864 and '65. while many other Albertlanders travelled out independently. In all about 3000 Albertlanders migrated to NZ, but not all settled in the Lower North. Important as this Special Settlement group was to NZ's immigration policies, all was not smooth sailing on arrival for these pioneer folk, who had many obstacles to surmount to achieve sucess and stability in their new homeland. This history encompasses all the factors that applied to the earliy settlers and tracks the economic and social development of the district through the peaks and troughs of the first 100 years. One of the essentials of a local history --- identifying those who played a significent part in the establishmen of any district --- has received exceptiional study in this history with no notable event or personality apparently overlooked. An excellent example of a local history. First edition of 1968, 325 pages including two appendices, bibliography and iindex Pictorial card covers are VG+. internally excellent, no inscriptions. Illustrated throughout with b/w photos, (many historical), some art, maps.
