Mr Explorer Douglas: John Pascoe's New Zealand Classic

by Graham Langton

Scottish-born Charlie Douglas ranks as one of the great early European explorers of New Zealand. From 1867 to 1916 he recorded the geography and topography of South Westland, its ecology and conservation, at a time when this was scarcely known. This book is a revised edition of the 1957 account of Douglas by John Pascoe.  A third of it details  Douglas' life and the rest presents Douglas' own journals  and sketches.
