Down From The Tussock Ranges

Down From The Tussock Ranges takes up the narrative in the early years of World War II, at a time when high-country runholders from Marlborough to Southland were developing a sense of community and co-operation. Their way of life was threatened by falling production and an inequitable rent system and by charges of having by mismanagement brought about erosion in the high country. There was a need to unite and present a common case to Government. David McLeod was a leader of the group which evolved into the High Country Committee of Federated Farmers, and the inside story ofh ow they learnt to stalk the corridors of power makes absorbing reading.
