In the north, vast forests of giant kauri trees cloaked the land. Yet now only a tiny fraction of the trees survive in threatened forests, and many goldmining settlements are just ghost towns. Rush to Riches tells the story of how mining for gold and felling the kauri forests helped found New Zealand, with both MaÌori and new immigrants involved in these new industries. The tales in this book reveal how exploiting these resources changed the face of the land and its people.-back cover. 650 0 $a Gold mines and mining $z New Zealand $x History $y 19th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Gold miners $z New Zealand $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Kauri industry $z New Zealand $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Forests and forestry $z New Zealand $x History $y 19th century $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a New Zealand $x History $y 19th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Forests and forestry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00932632 650 7 $a Gold miners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00944463 650 7 $a Gold mines and mining. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00944469 650 7 $a Kauri industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00986514 651 7 $a New Zealand. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204542 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 830 0 $a NZ series. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707013658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4CFA217CAD6711EBBB9470C722ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
