Sam Moreton became involved in the development of tourism in Fiordland and was almost certainly the one who discovered the McKinnon Pass in 1882. He was a partner with Donald Sutherland at Milford. Sam's wife, Rosa Clara, was the first white woman to walk what is now known as the Milford Track. Sam came to New Zealand in 1863 and settled in Invercargill. He had training in art as part of his early education and became entranced with the scenery in Fiordland, the Sounds and their environs. He tramped, climbed and sketched, returning to his studio to paint the scenery. His artistic achievements were matched by his ability as a climber and explorer. His paintings and sketches are renowned for their accuracy and are still consulted by those who wish to track the changes in topography over the last century or so. His story is an integral part of the early history of settlement and the development of tourism in the South Island or, as he called it, the 'Middle Island' of New Zealand. His output was considerable and much of it is preserved in the archives of the Turnbull Library in Wellington.

National parks have always been an emotive and iconic symbol, ever since the first parks of the modern era were created in the mid-nineteenth century. This book, based on original research, delves deeply into their character and significance, and the larger context in which they developed. The book celebrates the deserved attractiveness of the parks as wilderness or 'spectacle' to millions of visitors, but also emphasises how there was nothing inevitable, self-sustaining or without cost in their magnificence and accessibility. Those early parks were a powerful unifying force as national 'playgrounds', especially as motor transport democratised their use. However they also provoked bitter conflict in their dispossession of local communities and perhaps deliberate segregation of people from scenery and wildlife. That first century of national parks, which concluded with the significant break of the Second World War and the subsequent development of more international approaches to conservation, left an uncertain legacy. It was a fragile foundation from which to build what became an integral part of today's conservation movement.
