Landmarks Go North, Young Man
The dairy industry had its origins in the long depressions of the 1880s and 1890s. Pressure from the unemployed and the influence of a Scottish giant named John McKenzie, forced the subdivision of the great South Island estates. In the North Island, Maori land was taken for settlers. The drift to the north began, and the cow cockey was here to stay. Covers the development and use of land by Europeans, beginning with the defeat of the Waikato cheifs at Orakau.
