The first monograph-length study on the Otago gold rushes and their place in the histories of British and Irish migration, it increases our understanding of the British World by grounding transnational networks in the local ecologies, geologies and weather patterns which shaped local social structures and profoundly affected migrants' relationships to loved ones in Britain, Ireland and elsewhere."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-275) and index Notes Daniel Davy is Associate Professor of History and Associate Dean of Faculty at Ave Maria University, Florida Print version record Subject Gold mines and mining -- New Zealand -- Otago -- History -- 19th century Emigration and immigration Gold mines and mining SUBJECT New Zealand -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 19th century Ireland -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 19th century Great Britain -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 19th century Subject Great Britain Ireland New Zealand New Zealand -- Otago Genre/Form History Form Electronic book ISBN 9781474477369 1474477364 9781474477376 1474477372
