Rev. William Yate (1802-1877) was born in England. At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a grocer. After finishing his apprenticeship, he determined to become a missionary. He sailed for New Zealand in 1827. His tasks were to make a study of the Maori language, and to teach in the mission schools. Amongst his works are An Account of New Zealand (1835), A Letter to the Committee of the Church Missionary Society (1836) and To the Parishioners of St. James Church Sydney (1836).
Stories Without End is a testament to nearly 40 years of groundbreaking historical research by one of New Zealand’s leading scholars. Sitting alongside her major works – including the 2010 Book of the Year, Encircled Lands – these essays explore sidepaths and previously unexamined histories. They notably delve into the lives of powerful early Māori figures, including the prophets Rua Kenana and Te Kooti, their wives and their descendants, and the leaders of the Urewera. Binney brings figures out of the shadows, explores place and revives memory, ensuring that the histories that matter do indeed become stories without end.

My initial interest in the Yates lineage and Fred C. Yates specifically, began at an early age when my mother, Edith Jane (Yates) Riffe, introduced me to the shoebox. I have always thought of it as a shoebox, because it is about that size, but it is actually more of an all purpose box. Mother kept her most prized possessions in it, letters from her father, Fred C. Yates, and a handful of notebooks and documents that had been passed down from him.
