註釋"Born in Tiree in the Scottish Hebrides in 1820, Donald McLean came to New Zealand in 1840. HIs first government appointment was as Sub-Protector of Aborigines in 1844, and he was to have a major public role until his death in 1877, as Land Purchase Commissioner, Native Secretary, Government Agent oon the East Coast, Native Minister, and major landowner in his own right. McLean was highly respected by Maori for his knowledge of Te Reo and respect for rank and protocol, and was closely involved in land dealings in the Taranaki and elsewhere, first with the free consent of the Maori, but as resistance to land sales increased he resorted to engineering their consent."--Cover.
