Voyages – Faull by Five
A new book explores the rich history of Taranaki, New Zealand, from its earliest inhabitants to the present day.
Voyages – Faull by Five, by Jim Tucker ONZM MA, was recently launched at Puke Ariki Library and Museum in New Plymouth. This fascinating account is the culmination of a decade of research by Jim and his late brother, photographer Rob Tucker.
The book delves deep, offering:
• Over 110,000 words of text
• Nearly 500 images, including maps and family trees
• A captivating journey that begins with Maori explorers in the 1400s and continues through the arrival of European settlers in the 1840s
Voyages – Faull by Five isn't just about the past.
It traces the story of the Faull family, descendants of both Maori and European settlers, who have played a significant role in shaping Taranaki. The book features the five Faull brothers, each with their own unique accomplishments, and a dedicated chapter explores the World War II experiences of Maxwell Faull.
More than a family history, this book is a testament to the spirit of a community.
It explores the rich heritage of Taranaki and the people who have called it home, from its volcanic beginnings to its thriving dairy farms.
