From the inside cover:

If Fiordland was New Zealand’s first frontier it was also the last, a “lost world” indeed. And like all frontiers, it had a fascinating array of colourful characters - from Donald Sutherland, the hermit of Milford, to Richard Henry, the caretaker of Preservation. And then there was the mysterious Lost Tribe, the last of the Moas, the discovery of the Notornis. John Hall-Jones knows Fiordland and its history like nobody else - as a meticulous historian always sure of his facts, and as an enthusiastic tramper and explorer who has personally visited even the most remote scenes of the history he records. He has assembled an outstanding collection of early photographs, sketches and maps, many of them rare and previously unpublished.
