Te Wiremu—Henry Williams: Early Years in the North

This is the story of the Reverend Henry Williams, beginning the day he arrived in New Zealand in 1823, a thirty-year-old retired Navy lieutenant now a Church Missionary Society missionary. Through his private journals and letters he wrote to family and his superiors in England, Henry Williams tells his own story from his arrival in the Bay of Islands until the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
