It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted. I’m still busy collecting and reading relevant historiography. Just took a photo now of the latest arrivals.

I’m also starting to frame up my first chapter. It’s been nice to see some ideas come together even though quite rough and tentative.

In other history news, I was quite happy to pick up James Belich’s Paradise Reforged (2001) for $3 – out of the ‘withdrawn’ bin at Hutt City Library. In case you were wondering, this was not the Library’s only copy – Belich lives on in the Hutt.
