Diggers, Hatters & Whores
Author: Stevan Eldred-Grigg
Publisher: Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited
ISBN: 1869797043
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
The social history of New Zealand's gold rushes, as used by Eleanor Catton in her research for The Luminaries. A thorough and carefully researched history of the gold rushes in New Zealand. Based on sound scholarship and aimed at the general reader it's accessibly written in a clear, clean and lively style. The scope is the social history of the goldfields of colonial New Zealand, from the 1850s to the 1870s. The book opens with a survey of worldwide rushes in the late eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth centuries, when for the first time in history a great wheeling movement of gold diggers began to revolve from continent to continent. The main body of the book looks at all the rushes, large and small, that took place in the colony: Coromandel, Golden Bay, Otago, Marlborough, the West Coast and Thames. The early chapters of the main body survey rushes chronologically; the later chapters look at rushes thematically. 'I owe a debt of gratitude to . . . Stevan Eldred-Grigg's history of the New Zealand gold rushes Diggers, hatters & whores.' Eleanor Catton, The Luminaries

Book Description
In 1861 Gabriel Read discovered rich gold in Gabriels Gully [near Lawrence] triggering ... the great gold rush to Otago. One year later Hartley and Reilly panned 87 pounds of gold from the Dunstan Gorge of the Clutha River and a second great rush of miners swept into the province. From the poorest province in the young colony it became the richest. As eager prospectors pushed their way further up the Clutha River and its tributaries fabulously rich strikes were made in the Arrow and Shotover Rivers. Instant gold towns sprang up at Clyde, Alexandra, Cromwell, Arrowtown and Queenstown and the population of Otago rocketed. In 1863 the pattern was repeated on the mountainous flanks of the Manuherikia Valley and the Maniototo Plain. ..."--Front cover verso.
