Crossman on to New Zealand
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is the 8th book in the Jack Crossman series. As he enters New Zealand, it is in the middle of the Maori Wars. These are reminiscent of the war in the American West, with the Indians. Course the Maoris are a different kettle of fish than say the Apaches but both were fighting to stay in their homes, while the encrouchment of the white men decided not to allow this. You learn a bit of the Maori culture and temperament. A good yarn, with lots of excitement.
