The Journal of Edward Ward PDF

The Englishman Edward Ward arrived with the first Canterbury Pilgrims in 1850 at the age of 25. He kept a detailed and entertaining record of the voyage to New Zealand in the Charlotte Jane and his first six months in the new colony. Edward tragically died in a boating accident in Lyttleton Harbour, leaving behind three small books which contained his journal and observations of people who later rose to fame in the settlement.
