James Cowan (New Zealand writer)
James Cowan (14 April 1870 – 6 September 1943) was a New Zealand non-fiction author, noted for his books on colonial history and Maori ethnography. A fluent Maori speaker, he was able to interview many veterans of the Land Wars and his book
'' The New Zealand wars: a history of the Maori campaigns and the pioneering period'' (1922—23) was considered the definitive account until recent times.
==Early life==
Although born in Auckland, Cowan spent his childhood in Kihikihi, on the border of the King Country. The farm was on land confiscated from the Waikato Maori, and contained part of the site of the battlefield of Orakau. Settler militia were based at a military blockhouse close to his home, while there was a considerable Maori community in the area, and the young Cowan grew up speaking both English and Maori. He never lost his fascination with Maori culture and the Land Wars.
