Gordon Ogilvie was a biographer and historian with a special affection for the Port Hills and Banks Peninsula as well as early Canterbury. He grew up in the Horotane Valley ('a Huck Finn paradise') and his early interest in the hills developed into research and eventually the publication of three books, two of which won J.M. Sherrard awards for regional history:The Port Hills of Christchurch and Banks Peninsula: Cradle of Canterbury. His Pioneers of the Plains: the Deans of Canterbury (1996) has also been highly commended.
