  Davis, C O - The life and times of Patuone, the celebrated Ngapuhi chief. Inscribed by author.
  1st ed. Auckland : Printed by J H Field, 1876. 12mo. 141p. Frontispiece photograph. 1542. Green cloth. Mild wear and foxing. Inscription on title page: 'Mr Buchanan / with the Author's best wishes.' Patuone (1764?-1872), a chief of the Ngatihao at Hokianga, with his brother Tamati Waka Nene, was a Christian convert and powerful friend of the pakeha. As a one-time ally of Hongi's, he took part in some of the great inter-tribal campaigns, although Davis is at great pains to emphasise his role as a peace-maker later. Much detail within a small compass on the wars, the establishment of the CMS and Wesleyan missions and incidents at Hokianga. A handsome copy. G to G+.
