Excerpt from Early Rangitikei: A Few Notes, Collected From Various Sources of the Settlement on the Rangitikei River of a Number of Maoris of Different Tribes
It has been truly said that the early settlers require no memorial for if we look around we see their monuments. Unfortunately, however, the later day colonist does not look around, he is too much occupied in the rush of life or sport to think of those who braved all and left those dear to them to come and found our Dominion. They were our true Empire builders.
