The Mackenzie Basin

The Mackenzie Basin is a book written by Charles Mair that provides a comprehensive overview of the Mackenzie Basin region in New Zealand. The book delves into the history, geography, and ecology of the region, as well as the cultural significance it holds for the local Maori people. Mair explores the impact of colonization on the area, including the arrival of European settlers and the resulting changes to the landscape and way of life. The book also discusses the current environmental challenges facing the Mackenzie Basin, such as water management and conservation efforts. Overall, The Mackenzie Basin is a detailed and informative read for anyone interested in the history and natural beauty of this unique region.In the discussion which followed, the Duke of Newcastle declared that ""it seemed monstrous that any body of gentlemen should exercise fee--simple rights which precluded the future colonization of that territory, as well as the opening of lines 'of communication through it.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
