Robert McNab (1864-1917), lawyer, politician, and historian, was
one of the most prominent and influential of New Zealand's early
intellectuals, renowned for his meticulous gathering of historical
resources. The result of nine years of painstaking research, this
book was developed from a series of articles on Southland history
published in the newspaper Southern Standard in the late 1890s.
Murihiku spans the history of European exploration and settlement
in the South Island, from the voyages of Abel Tasman and Captain
Cook to the arrival of the sealers, whalers, missionaries, and the
early settlers in the years leading up the Treaty of Waitangi in
1840. The book was first published in 1905. After extensive
research in archives in Australia, the USA, and Britain, McNab
produced a more substantial edition in 1907. This third edition
appeared in 1909. McNab was elected fellow of the Royal
Geographical society in 1908.
