Description

The Most Wonderful Canoe He Was Ever In. A Railway Entertainment compiled and illustrated by David Lowe. 'When Tawhiao, the Maori King, made his first journey on the Waikato Railway from Ngaruawahia to Mercer he enthusiastically described the train as being the Most Wonderful Canoe He Was Ever In. This booklet is intended simply as an entertainment. A chance to get away from formal history and look at New Zealand's nineteenth century pioneer railways and the people they were built to serve. Except for a very few items that suited the mood of the work I have relied on vintage press reports and avoided extracts from recent histories. The booklet has light general wear with some small stains and creases but overall tight andbright.
