Excerpt from With the Lost Legion in New ZealandThis and many other instances determined me to jump into the breach, and try if a yarn, even written by such a duffer as myself, can educate some few of my countrymen, and let them know what sort of a life the men of the Lost Legion led during the wars that took place in New Zealand from 1866 to 1871, which wars eventually pacified the North Island, and were fought without the assistance of a single Imperial soldier.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
