A Blighted Fame

George S. Evans 1802-1868, a Life

Beschreibung

George Samuel Evans was bred to pursue the goals of civil and religious liberty. A hard-working advocate for parliamentary and colonial reform, his path led eventually to New Zealand, a colony of ragged uncertainty, ambition, rivalry, and deprivation. Helen Riddiford's biography acknowledges his immense contribution to New Zealand and Australia and allows his voice to be heard once more.
