Voyages and Wanderings in Far Off Seas and Lands Toitu Branded The Troopers' TaleIn 1861 a 17 year old John Thomson set sail from Greenock, Scotland, to start a new life on the other side of the world in New Zealand. First published in 1912, Voyages and Wanderings documents his adventures on the Otago goldfields, his discussions with Te Whiti o Rongomai at Parihaka and life in between. Now, his great great great niece, Rosy Fenwicke, has republished a second edition of his book, updating it for a modern audience.
