A Stockman’s Gift: Daniel Vickery Bryant and the Bryant Charitable Trusts, a Legacy for Waikato
by Rosalind McClean

‘He would have got a Knighthood if he’d had better table manners.’ This is the story of Daniel Bryant, the third child of agricultural immigrants, and a Waikato farmer and live-stock dealer. At age thirty-nine he decided to forego his former life purpose to ƒ??make good’, and instead embarked on a course that would touch the lives and renew the hopes of thousands of individuals in the Waikato region and beyond. The DV Bryant Trust of Hamilton New Zealand today continues the humanitarian and community work of its founder Dan, and his wife Mary Bryant. This book contains important insights for the history of welfare in New Zealand. It provides a fresh retelling of the history and culture of a region and its people
