Book Synopsis The Gumdigger by : Alfred Hamish Reed
Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive account of the Kauri gumfields and gumdiggers. It is interwoven with an account of an expedition in 1947 during which Alfred Reed (the author) was himself a gumdigger. It chronicles his gumdigging adventures while camped on lonely Mount Camel and later activities at the extreme north-western tip of New Zealand. Descriptions are provided of the methods of extraction of the gum, and the lives of those who worked on the gumfields.
