About the book
Captain William Hobson was New Zealand's first Governor who, within says of arriving in January 1840, arranged the drafting and signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. This biography draws heavily on primary sources, many previously unused, to show why Hobson was chosen, the sources he used in preparing the English text of the Treaty, and what Hobson and the British government intended. It also provides a thorough account of Hobson's life and career before his arrival in New Zealand and examines his often difficult period as Governor until his death in 1842.
