Yesterdays in Golden Buller by Ella Matthews

The author of Yesterdays in Golden Buller, Ella Matthews, was the descendent of a pioneering
West Coast family, with ties to Charleston and Cape Foulwind. Her dedication to this book has produced the most thorough history of the Buller District in print.

She records the early gold-mining days, shipping exploits, coal mining and the growth of other industries alongside the social life of a unique people.
