Get up close and personal with New Zealand shearers, from now and decades gone by.
Ruth Entwistle Low is a Timaru-based freelance oral historian and
writer.
Following the completion of her Master's in History from Massey
University, Ruth set about recording life histories, researching
and conducting projects funded by the Oral History Awards
administered by Manatu Taonga | Ministry for Culture & Heritage, as
well as completing projects for the South Canterbury Museum.
Although a townie by birth, Ruth has always had a fascination with
farming, which perhaps naturally led her to seek the voices of
those who work in the industry.
Her latest book is The Shearers- New Zealand Legends. Her first,
the bestselling On the Hoof- The Untold Story of Drovers in New
Zealand, was published by Penguin in 2014.
