Leslie Kelly - 1959

Kelly was a Maori amateur ethnologist with a strong interest in linking tradition and historical events to sites, and recording those sites. He authored a long seried of articles in the Journal of the Polynesian Society mostly about particular pa.

His book Marion Durfresne at the Bay of Islands (1951 A H and A W Reed, Wellington) strongly links archaeological sites to the historical narrative.
