J. W. Stack–South Island Maoris–(1898)
W. A. Taylor–Lore and History of the South Island Maori–(1950)

In the last-mentioned book Taylor devotes the whole of the first chapter to the history of the Nelson settlement by the Maori.

The Nelson district is referred to as "No Man's Land" during the first forty years of the 19th century, for during that period no permanent settlement by Europeans was recorded and there are few authoriativc records of visits by traders, sealers or whalers to our coast, although such visits undoubtedly occurred.
