A Social History of the Borough of Lawrence and Its Surrounding Districts
Here we find a very informative history of Tuapeka: its exploration -- the gold runs, the town and settlement, communications,farming, the press, tducation, religion, medical services, recreation.
All these with with stories of the goldfields, early farming, the growth of commercial and social institutions and services, long hours of back breaking work and the leisure hours the settlers somehow found time for, the development of this early Otago settlement has been carefully described.
The history of the great Molyneux (Clutha) River -- its floods and tragedies, has been detailed. There are early photographs of people and places, many with humourous content such as Dungan on his velocipede.
