About

Signed by author

In 1880, William Herbert Guthrie-Smith (1862-1940) emigrated from Scotland to New Zealand, where he learned the basics of sheep farming and acquired Tutira, a disused sheep station of 20,000 acres in the Hawke's Bay region of the North Island.

Tutira describes Guthrie-Smith's enterprise, including the redevelopment of the land and comprehensive advice on sheep farming.

The book also covers the history of the local Maori and of European settlement, and provides an extensive account of the farm's natural history including its geological configuration, meteorological patterns, the formation of lakes and waterways, and the native plant and bird species Guthrie-Smith discovered on his land.

Includes monochrome images and illustrations.

Newspaper clipping on end paper.
