Publisher's Synopsis
""Station Amusements in New Zealand"" is a book written by Lady Barker, which provides a detailed account of her experiences living on a remote sheep station in New Zealand during the late 19th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of life on the station, including hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and social gatherings. Lady Barker's vivid descriptions of the New Zealand landscape and the people she encountered during her time on the station provide readers with a unique insight into the country's rural lifestyle during this time period. The book also includes numerous illustrations and photographs, making it an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of New Zealand or the experiences of women in the 19th century. Overall, ""Station Amusements in New Zealand"" is a fascinating and engaging read that offers a glimpse into a bygone era of New Zealand's history.I expected every moment to hear the revolver go off, but mercifully it did not do so; and as his thorny bed was hardly to be endured, F---soon kicked himself off it, and before I could realize that he was unhurt, had scrambled to his feet, and was rushing off, crying in school-boy glee, ""That will fetch him out"" That (the rock) certainly did fetch him (the pig) out in a moment, and Pincher availed himself of the general confusion to seize hold of his enemy's hind leg, which he never afterwards let go.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
