William Harold Marsh, farmer, father and adventurous photographer captured a time of enchantment, when life was lived at a slower place, governed by a different set of values and priorities and ambitions.
One of the first generation of those immigrants who sailed around the world to settle in Albertland, 70,000 coastal acres on the Kaipara Harbour, in Northland, New Zealand, he has left a legacy of those times, a window into the past for those yet to come.
This is a beautifully presented book and a valuable record of early New Zealand European settlement. The rare photographs illustrate pioneering life and provide a record of the new settlers, their discoveries and their adaption to life in a new and foreign land.

"It's a wonderful book - in the truest sense: every page, each image of Harold Marsh's - full of wonder. And it doesn't get better than that!"
Sam Hunt
