This book continues the story of Nelson's early pioneers. The author's previous book, Landfall Nelson, describes the discovery of Nelson and concludes with the colony's fouth emigrant ship. Pioneer Passengers tells of the voyages of subsequent vessels, outlines the conditions in Nelson at the time of arrival and describes the part played by early pioneers in the development of the province.
