Fifield edition by David Price "A First Year in Canterbury Settlement" by Samuel Butler is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. The book is a compilation of Butler's letters and journal entries detailing his experiences as a young emigrant to New Zealand. It explores the challenges, observations, and adventures he encounters during his first year in the Canterbury Settlement, providing insights into colonial life and the emigrant experience. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Butler's embarkation from Gravesend as he begins his journey to New Zealand. On a rainy day, he reflects on the confusion and excitement of boarding an emigrant ship, where a mix of passengers from various walks of life are embarking on their own new beginnings. As the narrative unfolds, Butler describes the challenges faced during the voyage, including rough weather conditions, moments of levity among the passengers, and the day-to-day life on board. He captures the humor and struggles unique to sea travel while setting the stage for what is to follow as he lands in the new colony and begins to explore this unfamiliar frontier.
