A biography of the Seifert family (1831-1945) and their role in the NZ flax industry. In 1889, in the middle of the 'long depression (1879-96), a German immigrant turned to milling flax when his farm could no longer support him, his wife, and their ten children. Over the following 40 years his seven sons milled flax throughout New Zealand, from Southland to the Waikato. From the first primitive, water-driven mill at Mt. Thomas, to the sophistication of the electric-powered-stripper "Miranui", the Seifert brothers worked over 30 mills and were major contributors to the New Zealand flax industry that, during peak years, exported over one million pounds worth of fibre. Theirs is a story of courage and determination, of flood and fire and fluctuating fortunes through two depressions and two world wars.
