Presents the story of how payable gold was discovered in West Canterbury, and of claims to the government's rich gold reward. It tells how William Smart left Christchurch in 1862 to prospect for gold in the uncharted wilderness of the West Coast. Then, in 1887, long after the Canterbury government had granted another prospector the reward, he was provoked to write his own "history” of the early gold discoveries.
