  abstract: Europeans had no idea what they would find when they first set eyes on Aotearoa. The records they kept of their encounters with this new land and its Mαori inhabitants reveal stories of great wonder, curiosity, misunderstanding and adventure. This book samples those early journals and reports, from the first explorers Abel Tasman in 1642 and Joseph Banks in 1769, through to early settlers like John Logan Campbell in 1840, just as the Treaty of Waitangi was coming into force. The collection of first-hand accounts and illustrations reveal a land vastly different from modern New Zealand, in which these historic figures were laying the foundations for the country of today.
