Around the late 1870’s red deer from the Scottish Highlands were transported to New Zealand and released into both Islands for the purpose of the odd bit of sport and know doubt for a bit of variety to the pot. Under total protection for eighteen years the numbers increased along with the spread and by the 1930’s the population had become beyond the ability of the Acclimatisation Society to contain the rapid expansion. The Internal affairs department took over the task from 1930 to 1956, and then the DPF, Department Protection Forest division of the culling. During the war with no hunting pressure the deer in the bush and high country had become enormous herds beginning to do some serious damage. Under the control of the Internal affairs department hunters were sent into the back country with pack horses, ex-army 303 Lee-Endfields and endless supplies of 303 ammunition. The hunters were required to take the deer skins and were paid an expense of ten bob per skin. After about 1955 tail tallies were taken, the price per tail from ten bob to a couple of quid depending on the area being hunted. Young men from all around the globe and all walks of life were drawn to the adventure of being paid (not a lot) to hunt in some of New Zealand’s remotest country. As the hunting became more challenging with the deer expanding into the remotest area of the country the forest Service set up a training camp for hunters in a remote “Wairau Valley” called Dip Flat. Three months of extensive training was under taken by prospective hunters who had first past a selection course. Days were spent on the range learning basic fire arm skills, first aid, cooking, river crossings, and all the skills needed to be able to work for long periods on your own. Over the three months trainees were assessed as to the type of hunting areas they were best suited for, mountain, country, bush or more open country, then sent to blocks all around the country. However the job was partially suited to the individual loner type or bloke who tended to rely on himself and is aware of his own capabilities and some people are just not at ease working and living for long periods alone. There is no accounting for it; it’s just the way it is so although having passed through Dip Flat, hunter turnover was still an average of three to four months.

Best known to Americans as the “singing cowboy,” beloved entertainer Gene Autry (1907–1998) appeared in countless films, radio broadcasts, television shows, and other venues. While Autry’s name and a few of his hit songs are still widely known today, his commitment to political causes and public diplomacy deserves greater appreciation. In this innovative examination of Autry’s influence on public opinion, Michael Duchemin explores the various platforms this cowboy crooner used to support important causes, notably Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and foreign policy initiatives leading up to World War II. As a prolific performer of western folk songs and country-western music, Autry gained popularity in the 1930s by developing a persona that appealed to rural, small-town, and newly urban fans. It was during this same time, Duchemin explains, that Autry threw his support behind the thirty-second president of the United States. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Duchemin demonstrates how Autry popularized Roosevelt’s New Deal policies and made them more attractive to the American public. In turn, the president used the emerging motion picture industry as an instrument of public diplomacy to enhance his policy agendas, which Autry’s films, backed by Republic Pictures, unabashedly endorsed. As the United States inched toward entry into World War II, the president’s focus shifted toward foreign policy. Autry responded by promoting Americanism, war preparedness, and friendly relations with Latin America. As a result, Duchemin argues, “Sergeant Gene Autry” played a unique role in making FDR’s internationalist policies more palatable for American citizens reluctant to engage in another foreign war. New Deal Cowboy enhances our understanding of Gene Autry as a western folk hero who, during critical times of economic recovery and international crisis, readily assumed the role of public diplomat, skillfully using his talents to persuade a marginalized populace to embrace a nationalist agenda. By drawing connections between western popular culture and American political history, the book also offers valuable insight concerning the development of leisure and western tourism, the information industry, public diplomacy, and foreign policy in twentieth-century America.
