William Satchell wrote a novel about early migrant workers going through the
forests of New Zealand's Northland province. They followed after the timber
cutters looking for the gum from stumps and branches of the Kauri tree (a gum
used for varnish and linoleum). They lived a rough and lonely life so the novel
is entitled Land of the Lost. Of course, everyone lives in the land of the
lost. Whether you live in a city or in a rural area, in a civilized place or in
an undeveloped place you are living among people who are lost.
