N2  - "John Cleland has lived and worked most of his life in South Canterbury and North Otago.

As he recalls the events and names, people in the stories emerge to tell a tale of a large extended family. His early years growing up at Loudoun were reflected by the number of people involved around the operation of running large farms. After branching out into contracting and later rural transport this brought him in to contact with many diverse characters and each one has a story"--Back cover
