30 October William Frederick Howlett BA 1850–1935

William Howlett lived most of his life at Makaretu, Eketahuna and Pahiatua. He was an articulate but eccentric journalist who wrote columns and letters in most of the small local newspapers and his writing was lucid, funny, sensitive, poetic; he was a naturalist who corresponded with Colenso, Hooker and Hector; and an alpinist who formed the first New Zealand mountaineering club. He should be recognised as New Zealand’s Henry David Thoreau.

Ian St George is a doctor, naturalist and amateur historian. He has written extensively on New Zealand native orchids and on William Colenso and is now writing biographies of a number of obscure but influential 19^th century men who lived in Hawke's Bay and the Wairarapa.
