  • New Zealand Wars Fortifications Were Used for Tactical and Strategic Purposes
    Fortifications of the New Zealand Wars Nigel Prickett In Memory Tony Walton [26 November 1952 – 6 November 2008] New Zealand archaeological sites central file-keeper New Zealand Historic Places Trust [1978–1987] Department of Conservation [1987–2008] This report is one of the last Department of Conservation archaeological contract projects in which Tony was involved and reflects his interest in historic sites of the New Zealand Wars, and so is a fitting tribute to his career. Cover: Alexandra Redoubt, near Tuakau, was established by British troops the day after General Cameron crossed the Mangatawhiri River on 12 July 1863 at the start of the Waikato War. The earthwork fortification was located to secure the right flank of the invasion route and to protect military transport to the front on the Waikato River 100 m below. The outstanding preservation is a result of the redoubt now being within an historic reserve and cemetery. See Section 3.10 in the report. Photo: Nigel Prickett, April 1992.

  • Ka Mate Ka Ora: a New Zealand Journal of Poetry and Poetics Issue 15 July
    ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 15 July 2017 From the archive: Emily Harris Letters and Diary Excerpts 1860-63 Notes Michele Leggott and Fredrika Van Elburg The manuscripts The letters and diary excerpts presented here are part of the Emily Harris papers at Puke Ariki Museum in New Plymouth (ARC2002-190). They consist of manuscripts copied in Emily Harris’s hand from originals apparently no longer extant. These manuscripts take the form of two hand-bound booklets (fascicles) and two letters on single folded folios typical of personal letters of the period. Taken together, the manuscripts cover events in Emily Harris’s life between September 1860 and March 1863. Geographically they move from New Plymouth under siege to Hobart, Tasmania, where Emily continued living with the Des Voeux family. That Emily Harris copied more material is evident from the fragmented nature of the surviving fascicles. Fascicle 1 (28 pp) is seven folios folded and centre-bound, but an unknown number of pages are missing between its outermost folio and the other six. Fascicle 2 (6 pp) is three folios cut from an exercise book and bound at the left edge. Emily Harris’s motive for assembling letters and diary excerpts is unrecorded and the date of the copying is unknown. Her nieces Miss Ruth Moore and Mrs Ella Grace Hobbs donated their aunt’s papers to the then Taranaki Museum in 1961. Letters, Scraps of Diary &c MS copy of diary entries 10 - 12 Sept 1860, including poem and account of 11 Sept attack on Huirangi.
