[BITList] Sarah Speedy's wondrous tale

[John Feltham]

An E-Book


Memoirs of Sarah Speedy  -- Waterloo to Waikato
A woman's first hand account of colonial life at the dawn
of the British Empire.

Born near Waterloo into a British army officer's family, the
authoress accompanied her parents and later her husband
on military tours of duty to India and beyond.

Sarah travelled countless miles by land and sailed on a dozen
voyages before settling forty years later as pioneers on the
opposite side of the world in the Waikato region of New Zealand.

On the way she journeyed to the Malay Archipelago, into darkest
Africa, up the holy Ganges River to the heart of India, and to the
land of the Arabian Nights.
