Description

Shepherd's Progress. Elliotts in Central Otago by Janet Thomson. ' Scottish shepherds and their boarder collies are woven into the the legend of New Zealand's high country sheep stations. None made more impact than one young man who exchanged the damp Wester Ross highlands for the rocky tussock lands of Central Otago. James Elliott arrived in Dunedin in 1962 and found himself managing huge sheep runs in the upper Manuherkia Valley before farming in his own right in the Strath Taieri. Shepherd's Progress tells of James and Margaret Elliot and their family, in the last days of the great Otago sheep runs. It also tells the story of this shepherd's enduring relationship with the firm of Ross and Glendining, then one of New Zealand's great Victorian and Edwardian mercantile partnerships.' The book has light to medium general wear but remains tight and bright. Signed with a personal inscription on the inside front page.
