Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. 8vo. xxv, 164pp, index, references, bw ills. Or black cloth in jacket. Endpapers toned/foxed, page edges lightly foxed, prev owner name inside front cover. Jacket mildly edge worn, front flap creased. Ta'unga, a native of Raratonga, wrote of his experiences there and more particularly of his experiences in New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands and Samoa from 1833 to 1896. He lived in New Caledonia before any Europeans lived there and so gives us the first record by a resident of the indigenous culture of the southeastern portion at the time of first contact with foreign commerce and religion.
