Description

Secondhand. A father's biography written by his son. We see a young man working his passage nearly 100 years ago from a depressed Scotland to a more promising New Zealand. He has been described as "Wellington's first town-planning Mayor" His best-known material monument is Dunedin's dignified Railway Station. This book offers the strength and vigour, the sincerity and the richness of character which made Sir George Troup a man to remember.
