Using all the available accounts written by eye-witnesses, the author has written the most detailed account of the skirmish at Rangiaowhia in the Waikato War that has yet appeared. Rangiaowhia was the breadbasket of the area, supplying food to the strongly held fortress of Paterangi. The control of Rangiaowhia and the bypassing of Paterangi were strokes of strategic genius on the part of General Cameron, enabling him to defeat his opponents without the need to attack Paterangi and thus preventing much loss of life on both sides. In so doing, Cameron hastened the end of the Waikato war. After the night march through the bush from Te Rore Cameron's force, including von Tempsky's Forest Rangers, broke into two in order to occupy the village. In the process they were fiercely resisted by the gunfire that came from one house - the famous last stand of Hoani.
