The Boy Colonists by Rev. Simeon Elwell

Based upon a diary kept by a young English pioneer who came to Otago in 1859, this story gives a good account of Papakaio, Omarama and other sheep runs during the Otago gold rush. It’s an interesting insight into the hard work and rough conditions these two teenagers encountered, told with wit and brevity by Reverend E. Simeon Elwell.
