The gold baron : John Ewing, Central Otago's mining entrepreneur

"This book tells something of the life and times of John Ewing, the doyen of alluvial gold miners of Central Otago. He was a man who stood out from the others in personality, innovativeness, knowledge and activity. For two decades from 1880, he was the leading figure in the gold mining community of Otago and indeed, was known throughout the goldfields of New Zealand."--Preface
