Phillip Tapsell (1790—1873) was one of the earliest Pākehā-Māori traders and has over 3000 descendants in New Zealand. Yet his eventful life is not well known today, and his memoirs have never before been published in book form. Dr Jonathan Adams presents the original manuscript with extensive commentary, including perspectives from Tapsell’s country of origin, Denmark. With a foreword by Dr Paora Tapsell.
