A distant shore : Irish migration & New Zealand settlement / edited by Lyndon Fraser.
Covering 19th and early 20th century migrants, it includes statistical analyses of where people came from in Ireland, why they came, where they went, and in what numbers. It shows strong connections with the story of the Irish on Australian goldfields - many of whom came on to New Zealand.
