Extract from reviewed by Mike Crean, The Press, 9 July 2005
“The debt New Zealanders owe to the sturdy pioneers who surveyed and mapped the land is well stated in this work by Christchurch historian Janet Holm … Holm has read exhaustively to gain the fullest understanding of how the surveyors lived and what they achieved. She writes in such racy style of their adventures that parts would not be out of place in Boys’ Own Annual … this book is a worthy tribute to a bunch of indefatigable pioneers.”
