Hamilton-Browne is a collection of personal narratives and historical accounts written in the late 19th century. The stories reflect on the author's experiences during his military service with the Lost Legion, particularly focusing on his encounters with the Maori people in New Zealand and the tumultuous conflicts of that era. The book aims to capture the essence of camaraderie, culture, and the hardships faced by soldiers and their indigenous counterparts during this significant period. The opening of the narrative introduces the author's nostalgic reflections as he recalls his time spent in New Zealand, longing for the days of adventure and the spirit of companionship that marked his military career. He discusses the Maori's complex character as both courageous warriors and hospitable individuals, sharing insights into their culture and conflicts, particularly during the wars that raged from the 1860s to the 1870s. With a blend of personal anecdotes and broader historical context, Browne sets the stage for a series of yarns that celebrate bravery, explore cultural exchanges, and delve into the rich tapestry of life on the frontier during a gripping time in history.
