Booth is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative details the life of a young emigrant from England as he embarks on an adventurous journey to New Zealand, chronicling his experiences from the rough passages of the sea to the challenges and growth he encounters in the new land. The book captures the essence of early colonial life, focusing on themes of exploration, adaptation, and personal development amidst the expansive landscapes of New Zealand. The opening of the memoir introduces the author as a member of a large family with aspirations for a military career that falter due to health issues. Driven by a desire for independence and adventure, he chooses to emigrate to New Zealand, facilitated by a friend, and eventually boards the ship "Mary Anne" with other emigrants. The narrative paints vivid scenes of the departure from England, the tumultuous sea voyage filled with incidents, and the emotional farewells of families. Through his eyes, the reader begins to grasp the trials, camaraderie, and unpredictable nature of life at sea and the formative experiences that lie ahead in his quest to carve a future in the colonies.
