When writer and historian Peter Wells found a cache of family letters amongst his elderly mother's effects, he realised that he had the means of retracing the history of a not-untypical family swept out to New Zealand during the great nineteenth-century human diaspora from Britain. His family experienced the war against Te Kooti, the Boer War, the Napier earthquake of 1931 and the Depression. They rose from servant status to the comforts of the middle class. There was army desertion, suicide, adultery, AIDS, secrets and lies. There was also success, prosperity and social status. In digging deep into their stories, examining letters from the past and writing a letter to the future, Peter Wells constructs a novel and striking way to view the history of Pākehā New Zealanders"--Back cover. 001369327 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001369327 60010 $$aWells, Peter,$$d1950-2019$$xFamily. 001369327 60010 $$aWells, Bess,$$d1916-2017. 001369327 60030 $$aNorth family. 001369327 60030 $$aNorth family$$vCorrespondence. 001369327 650_4 $$aWells, Bess. 1916-2017 - Family. 001369327 650_4 $$aFamily histories. 001369327 651_0 $$aNapier (N.Z.)$$vGenealogy. 001369327 651_0 $$aNew Zealand$$vGenealogy. 001369327 651_0 $$aNew Zealand$$xSocial life and customs. 001369327 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001369327 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWells, Peter, 1950-2019.$$tDear Oliver : uncovering a Pākehā history.$$dAuckland, New Zealand : Massey University Press, 2018 $$z9780994147363 $$w(DLC) 2018379868 001369327 852__ $$bebk 001369327 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=5439089$$zOnline Access 001369327 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1369327$$pGLOBAL_SET 001369327 980__ $$aBIB 001369327 980__ $$aEBOOK 001369327 982__ $$aEbook 001369327 983__ $$aOnline
