She writes about the 'upper-ten', the old Dutch and English families, their elegant houses, what they did and did not do, what they ate and drank, their picnic parties and their dance evenings; she also tells about the fishermen, the Malay tailors, and the whole somewhat untidy but colourful scenes of the 'men in the street'."

"Die verhale van Oud-stryders wat in hierdie bundel verskyn, vertel van dié bitter jare in die Boerevolk se geskiedenis. Dit is verhale wat met eenvoud en ongekunsteldheid vertel word en juis daarom telkens so aangrypend is - verhale van swaarskry en onreg, maar nooit met bitterheid nie. Dit is verhale wat die leser by hernuwing vol bewondering laat vir die manne, vroue en kinders van Transvaal en die Vrystaat wat die magtige Brittanje aangedurf het - mense wat te midde van groot ellende en doodsgevaar tog so dikwels ook die humoristiese in 'n situasie gesien het en raak en gevat daarop kon reageer."

Very slightly crumpled at extremities of sunned spine; light browning to endpapers; some fox spots. Very good condition. "The discovery of the South African alluvial diamond fields in 1866 came as a veritable surprise to the whole world. The real rush to the new El Dorado began in 1869, when eager fortuneseekers pressed in from all parts of the sub-continent and overseas, and ranged themselves along the middle section of the Vaal River.... Scarcely a soul in all this multitude had the vaguest idea of what a diamond looked like in its rough state, but all were well aware of its preciousness and value." R500 [728] 9.

This book by May Bell, while covering some of the same historical facts, as is inevitable in any work on the Settlers, is the story of particular families, notably the George Woods and the Hooles. As she herself says, "it is the story of the intertwined lives of a few of the people" who made Eastern Province history.' R500 [703] 11. Beukes, Piet: The Romantic Smuts.

'William Bennington Boyce was the trusted adviser to Sir Benjamin d'urban during the Sixth Kaffir War, However, the part played by Wesleyan missionaries during that war brought them into disfavour in England, and Boyce himself was strongly criticised. This led him to set out his opinions unequivocally in his "Notes on South African Affairs". He pays much attention to Captain Stockenstrom's Border Policy and makes many suggestions on it. He also deals with the Great Trek and describes the relation of the emigrant Boers towards the aborigines. Boyce's knowledge of the Xhosa and their language was far superior to many important persons of the time and he had written and published the first ever Xhosa grammar. Other important

5 persons whom he deals with in detail are Piet Retief, Dingaan, Dr John Phillips (sic), William Shaw, Thomas Pringle and John Fairbairn.' R350 [709] 17. Bradlow, Frank R.: Africana Books & Pictures.

Cloth partially sunned; some moderate foxing. Very good condition. Dutch text. (Mendelssohn II, p. 561) "With her mother she was one of the six volunteer nurses from Pretoria who assisted in the concentration camp at Irene. The desperate conditions in this camp were made known to the outside world by Mrs Van Warmelo and Johanna Brandt by means of a sympathetic person's silver cigarette case. A full description was smuggled out in this manner to the well-disposed journalist W. T. Stead and widely circulated through his journal 'Review of Reviews'. Johanna Brandt's war experiences formed the basis of two of her books, 'The Irene concentration camp' (1904), which was published the following year in Dutch under the title 'Het concentratie-kamp van Irene', and the wellknown 'Die kappie kommando, of Boerevrouwen in geheime dienst' (1913)." - DSAB IV, p. 55 R1118 [860] 20.

"Met die Gedenkalbum van die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog, wat hiermee die volk van Suid-Afrika aangebied word, wil ons 'n bydrae van meer as verbygaande waarde lewer om die vyftigste verjaardag van die uitbreek van die grootste oorlog wat ooit op die vlaktes van ons vaderland gewoed het, op gepaste wyse te herdenk. Langs dié weg wil ons hulde betuig aan 'n voorgeslag wat deur sy dapperheid en deursettingsvermoë onsterflik geword het in die geskiedenis, nie alleen van ons eie land nie, maar van die wêreld, en tegelykertyd die dade waardeur hy onsterflikheid verwerf het, weer in die herinnering bring van die nakomelinge, die Afrikaanse volk van vandag." R774 [410] 21. Breytenbach, J.

These books were the precursors of Breytenbach's great magnum opus, the sixvolume 'Geskiedenis van die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog in Suid- Afrika, '. Their themes are 'I. Voorspel tot die Stryd', and 'II. Ontplooing van die Boere-offensief Oktober 1899'. They are arguably the earliest works of serious historiography on the subject by an Afrikaans writer. R1892 [37] 22. Breytenbach, J. H.: Die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog (Cape Town: Nasionale Pers, 1948 and 1949) 2 small, squarish 8vo volumes; original black cloth, lettered in gilt on spines; pp. (vi) + ix + (i) + 406, x + 381; endpaper map to first volume; photographs.

Trace of foxing to endpapers and

6 edges. Very good condition. Afrikaans text. A lavishly illustrated account of the campaign surrounding the Battle of Majuba during the First Anglo-Boer War, the primary author of which is the greatest Afrikaner authority on the subject.

Brink, Adjutant J[an] N[eethling]: Oorlog en Ballingskap (Cape Town: Nasionale Pers, 1940) 8vo; original pale grey cloth blocked in black and green; pp. (vi) (iii); frontis. portrait; blackand-white photographic plates. Trace of spotting to cloth; earlier owner's name signed on front free endpaper. Very good condition. Afrikaans text. (Nienaber I, p. 66) Uncommon expanded version of the author's celebrated work Ceylon en de Bannelingen, which appeared in English under the title Recollections of a Boer Prisoner-of-War at Ceylon (HAUM, 1904). R. G. Hackett describes the earlier work as follows: "An historical and descriptive sketch of the island of Ceylon, with an account of the outward journey from South Africa and of life as experienced by Boer prisoners-of-war at Diyatalawa and Ragama camps." (South African War Books: An Illustrated Bibliography, p. 48) The 1940 revision contains a good deal more information, however, as the author explains in his foreword: "Die inhoud is aanmerklik uitgebrei en ook deur vier bykomende hoofstukke aangevul. Hierdie nuwe aanvulling handel oor gebeurtenisse in die oorlog, waartoe bogemelde [Ladybrand-, Ficksburg- en Senekal-] kommando's geen geringe deel bygedra het nie. Oorlogsgeskiedenis maak soms 'n aansienlike deel uit van die biografie van 'n volk en die groot gebeurtenis, wat as glorieryke tydperk van die volkstryd moet beskou word, mag nie in die vergetelheid wegsink nie, maar vir die nageslag behou bly." R430 [163] 25. Brink, J.N.: Ceylon en de Bannelingen (Amsterdam and Cape Town: H.A.U.M., 1904) 8vo; original olive green cloth blocked in gilt and blind; pictorial onlay on upper cover; blind-stamped emblem of Boer republics on lower cover; pp. (x) + 224; black-and-white photographic plates and illustrations in text. Trace of foxing to endpapers and edges. Exceptional condition. Dutch text. (SABIB 1, p. 283; uniform English edition: Hackett, pp. 48, 131) "An historical and descriptive sketch of the island of Ceylon, with an account of the outward journey from South Africa and of life as experienced by Boer prisoners-of-war at Diyatalawa and Ragama camps." - Hackett, p. 49.

Dustwrapper a little edgeworn and rubbed; gift inscription to front free endpaper; a little foxing to edges, endpapers and reverse of dustwrapper. Very good condition. Afrikaans text. '"Ek beskou politiek en so ook elke ding wat ons in hierdie lewe doen grotendeels as 'n spel - 'n baie ernstige spel... " Dit was Tielman Roos se woorde in die Volksraad op 27 Mei Baie het dit as sy politieke belydenis aanvaar, 'n uitspraak wat 'n mens van die joviale minister van Justisie kon verwag. Só het hulle Roos opgesom.... Die skrywer het in talle argiewe gedelf, die koerante en Hansards in dié tyd gefynkam en met verskeie tydgenote van Roos gesels. Belangrike nuwe gegewens oor Roos, soos die briefwisseling met sy vrou, het in dié werk tereggekom. Die Roos-figuur word lewendig voorgestel en teen die politieke agtergrond van die eerste drie en 'n half dekades van hierdie eeu geplaas. Roos se genialiteit as politikus, maar sy beperkinge as mens, wat ten slotte ook sy loopbaan beïnvloed, spreek uit die werk.' R400 [710] 27. Bufton, John: Tasmanians in the Transvaal War (Hobart: S. G. Loone, 1905) 4to; original charcoal cloth, lettered in gilt on upper cover; pp. (xvi) + 534; several photographic illustrations.

There are also articles giving the narrative of the prisoners, "The Last Roll Call," &c. &c. Part of the contents are in the form of journals, which are accompanied by a number of illustrations, and photographs of officers and men engaged in the campaign.' - Mendelssohn. R3440 [289] 28.

Hy beskik oor min geleerdheid, maar hy kan dink en hy kan skrywe en in patriots teken hy op wat hy belewe, droom en hoop. Hy delf in die verlede, kiek die hede, bevraagteken die toekoms.

Burman, Jose: Towards the Far Horizon. The Story of the Ox-wagon in South Africa (Cape Town: Human & Rousseau, 1988) 8vo; laminated pictorial boards; pp. 168; colour plates, black-and-white photographs. Slightly sunned on spine. Near fine condition. "Barely a hundred years ago the ox-wagon was still the most important means of transport in South Africa, and the wagon-building industry one of the largest enterprises in the predominantly rural economy of the country. The vital role of the ox-wagon in the history of South Africa cannot be overestimated: without this product of the skills of the new settlers and the oxen of the indigenous Khoikhoi, there would have been no opening up of the hinterland, no Kimberley diamond mines, no Witwatersrand goldfields and no Republic of South Africa. Jose Burman tells the whole story of the ox-wagon, its antecedents, its construction, the unsung technicians who built it, the dumb oxen that provided the motive power, and its use over two and half centuries in this country. Yet, Towards the Far Horizon is far more than the story of the ox-wagon: interwoven are tales of rare courage and vignettes of the discoverers, trekkers and transport riders who depended on their wagons for a livelihood, told in the inimitable style which has made Jose Burman such a popular writer on the highways and byways of South African history." R350 [736] 33. Burman, Jose: Who Really Discovered South Africa? (Cape Town: C. Struik, 1969) 4to; original green cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper in removable protector; endpaper maps; pp. x + 170; black-and-white plates; maps. Lower panel of dustwrapper very slightly rubbed; some spotting to top edge. Very good condition. "My first thought was to write a book on early explorers of South Africa. On consideration I decided to amend that to early discoverers.

"This is not a biography of General Botha, but an attempt to give a picture of the man - Prime Minister, Statesman, General, Leader, Companion and Friend. In following out this object, many questions and problems of importance are naturally dealt with and discussed. Lord Buxton's intimate association, both official and unofficial, with General Botha in South Africa, during the critical years of the War, enables him to write with special knowledge and authority."

(Mendelssohn I, p. 305 [1st edition]) 'The best work which has been published on the Boer War of up to date. The volume is divided into four Parts: (I.) The British in the Transvaal. (II.) The Battlefields. (III.) The Peace. (IV.) A Journey through the Transvaal. In dealing with the "indirect causes" of the war, Mr. Carter asserts that "there can be little doubt that an outbreak of hostilities was precipitated by one flagrant act of injustice on the part of the government at Pretoria." Colonel Lanyon's arbitrary and injudicious methods appear to have thoroughly incensed and disgusted the Boers, and the author confirms Lady Bellairs' statement that they believed the Administrator to be "a nigger", which helped to increase his unpopularity, while his despotic tendencies served to alienate even the loyally inclined inhabitants. "He showed a facility of making himself disagreeable to the Boers.... He tried to command the Transvaal, when he failed to govern it or manage it; having no sympathies for the Boers... he despised them and theirs as an inferior creation, &c." On the other hand, the author was of opinion that "If promises made by Sir T. Shepstone at the time of the annexation - promises which there is every reason to believe that he intended to carry out - had been fulfilled, the late disastrous war would never have happened." As regards the annexation, it is pointed out that although "the Free State, the Cape, and the Dutch press wrote condemning this act, the Daily News and other London Liberal journals gave approval to it; and reference is made to a work published in 1870, entitled Herinneringen uit Zuid Africa, by "an author devoid of British prejudices"... who, in

8 discussing the state of the Transvaal, remarks on "the confusion in the authority of the State; the stupid unwillingness of the Boers to assist in any way, &c. &c." Mr. Burgers, the President, is also quoted, and his remarks would serve to show that he, at all events, believed in the charge of slavery against the Boers, as he told his Volksraad, "You have ill-treated the natives, you have shot them down, you have sold them into slavery, and now you have to pay the penalty."' - Mendelssohn.

The work was completed and published by the comrades of Col. Moulin, "as the most fitting memorial to a gallant soldier." The author - a New Zealander of French descent - entered the British army in 1879, and was known in India as a "musketry expert"; during the hostilities in South Africa he became known for his skill in organisation; he was shot through the heart on June 17, 1900, at Diamond Hill, "leading a charge against the Boers who had rushed his camp."' - Mendelssohn.

Tas often uses original, though sometimes rough, popular expressions. His criticism of social and religious authority is typical of the eighteenth-century effort to escape from restraint. What Tas wrote is important not only because it reflects the social and political conditions of an early Cape society, but because it reveals Tas's own personality and character. His diary makes him a gay and sociable person, and, especially, an organizer and leader. His dedicated ability was the real force that put W.

The previous owner of this volume, Walter Howorth Greenly ( ) was an ambitious young cavalry officer during the Anglo-Boer War, who served as adjutant of the 12th Lancers, winning a DSO. His rise through the officer ranks was swift, and by November of 1916 he was commander of the 2nd (Cavalry) Division. However, recognising that command of a cavalry division was a dead-end in the new reality of trench warfare with sophisticated weapons, Greenly successfully sought a senior post in the infantry, gaining command of the 14th (Light) Division, at which point his career faltered. His entry into a new kind of fighting exactly coincided with the thrust of the German Spring Offensive of Losses were severe, and John Bourne, editor of "Douglas Haig: War Diaries and Letters", quotes Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig as stating that "Greenly... went off his head with strain." Bourne further observes that Greenly's Who's Who entry makes no mention of his command of 14th Division.

(Hackett, p. 150; Mendelssohn I, p. 670) 'At the commencement of the volume there is a poem entitled "Australia's Appeal to England," which the author tells his readers he has inserted, "because some critics have pronounced me anti-english in my sentiments." It is observed that Australians adopted Boer tactics with great success, but it is remarked that our very clever Intelligence people considered the Boer a fool, "while he is as clever and crafty as any oriental." Mr. Hales was wounded and captured near Rensburg, Mr. Lambie, another correspondent, being killed in the same engagement. He was well treated during his stay with the Boers, and he seems to have gained a good deal of information with respect to their views on the war, and he met President Steyn, whom he describes as a refined, cultured gentleman. After his release he joined General Rundle's army, then engaged in the movement which led to Prinsloo's surrender, and he remarks that the Boer general could have escaped if he had listened to De Wet, who could just as easily have taken 6000 men with him as he took 1800.' - Mendelssohn.

When the last South African soldier crossed the Kavango to return to South West Africa on 1 September 1988, this force had irrevocably changed the strategic situation in the region.... The operations of this campaign offer much of military interest. Perhaps the best known aspect is the remarkable use that the South Africans made of their artillery. The 155mm G-5, with a range of forty kilometres in particular, dominated the battlefield throughout the campaign: it inflicted severe damage on Fapla, hampered their tactical and logistic movement, pinned down brigades for attack by South African mechanised forces and Unita infantry, and made the important air base at Cuito Cuanavale unusable."

The four months Hooper spent on operations with Koevoet coincided with one of the most determined and bloody infiltrations by SWAPO into SWA/Namibia in recent years.

My duties also brought me on conversational terms with many of the enemy, both in the early and later stages of the war, and I am thus able to record certain hitherto unpublished items of interest bearing on the campaign, gathered from the Boer side, all of which I have given as nearly as possible in the words of the speakers.... I have endeavoured to present a brief, though accurate, account of some of the enormous difficulties that General Buller's army had to surmount; concerning these, considerable vagueness seems to prevail in this country.

The slave population created its own peculiar problems. The first hospitals catered for officials and in 1818 Bailey started a public hospital. The Supreme Medical Committee formed in 1807 was an innovation ahead of its time. Doctors who arrived with the 1820 Settlers stimulated medical thought. From its pages emanate the figures of James Barry and Sir George Grey who with Dr. Fitzgerald established a health service for Africans. A midwifery school was started in 1810, a school for nurses was founded in Kimberley, followed by far sighted health measures and the establishment of research laboratories in South Africa.

The total number of men who served in the C.I.V. included 64 officers and 1675 of other ranks, and during the campaign 58 were killed and 156 invalided home. No less than 31 volunteers were given commissions (6 officers and 25 men) in the Imperial Army, and 121 remained in Africa in various capacities.

He joined the Greyshirt movement in the Union, but resigned in 1934 to form the South African National Democratic movement. He was farming in South- West Africa at the time, but paid frequent visits to the Union to make speeches attacking the Jews and Freemasonry. In August 1939 he was charged in the high court, Windhoek, with engendering racial hostility in South-West Africa by the distribution of his book, My lewe en strewe (Pretoria, 1939). On 34 August he was found guilty, the presiding judge stating that the book had been ' written with the deliberate object of encouraging bad feelings towards the Jewish race'. Maritz was short, stocky, broad-shouldered and darkcomplexioned. In his prime he was endowed with exceptional physical strength about which many striking anecdotes were recorded by his contemporaries. His courage, energy and ruthlessness made him a formidable opponent in the field. In civilian life his impetuosity, restlessness and lack of business acumen precipitated a series of financial setbacks. He undoubtedly had a personal magnetism, but his arrogance, violent temper and pathological racial prejudices made him many enemies and often alienated his friends."

"Ruim een derde van die Kaapse rebelle wat gevonnis is, het uit die distrikte Aliwal-Noord, Burgersdorp, Jamestown, Lady Grey, Dordrecht en Barkly-Oos gekom. Dit is hierdie gebied wat deur die Boerekommando's as Vrystaatse grondgebied geannekseer is. In hulle ywer om rekrute vir die Boeresaak te werf, is daar so ver gegaan om 'n eie onafhanklike republiek aan die inwoners te belowe. Die vlag van die Nuwe Verenigde Suid-Afrika is op die Stormberge gehys. REBELLE VAN DIE STORMBERGE is die boeiende verhaal van daardie storm-en-drang-jare.

Kritzinger en Jan Smuts. Maar bowenal is dit die verhaal van die onverskrokke kmdt. Willem Fouchee en die gewone burgers van die Stormberge." R430 [395] 212. Opperman, D. J. (author), and J. C.

Some one has said that real patriotism is bred only on the farms and plains of a country, and no better exemplification of the truth of the saying was necessary than that which was afforded by the wives and mothers of the burghers of the two South African Republics." - Howard C.

The natives becoming insolvent, the Transvaal government despatched a force against them in May 1894, the author accompanying the commando by request of the Bishop of Pretoria. There are some details respecting the refusal of certain commandeered Uitlanders and others to join the force, and amongst these was a Boer named Van de Westhuizen, who committed suicide in preference to proceeding to the front. The expedition arrived at the base of operations on June 12th, and was under the superintendence of General Joubert, who had with him Commandant Erasmus and Colonel Ferreira. After several engagements and a blockade of Malaboch's mountain, the chief surrendered on July 31st, having with him 1000 natives who kept 2000 white men at bay for a considerable period. Mr. Rae observes that "through the campaign the poor Malabochians were seldom aggressors, their attitude being nothing more or less than a gentle protest against what they considered an unjust encroachment on their ancestral rights."

The events which led to the war, and Kruger's methods for maintaining his ascendancy, are closely followed, and the volume ends with an account of his defeat and flight." - Mendelssohn R400 [428] 285.

Sir Horace Lockwood Smith- Dorrien ( ), distinguished himself first in the Anglo- Zulu War, being recommended for a Victoria Cross following Isandlwana and sharing in the final defeat of the Zulus at Ulundi. In 1882 he was in Egypt for the Arabi Pasha campaign, before moving on to India, returning to Egypt between 1884 and He participated in the Sudan campaign in 1898, and had a chequered experience of the Anglo-Boer War, doing well during the earlier stages, before seeming to lose his way somewhat during the guerilla phase. His part in the First World War was cut short somewhat by his feud with French, although he did take charge of Home Defence thereafter. "He was of medium height and spare build, and his blunt directness was marred at times by a fiery temper. He was essentially a soldier's general, not given to ostentation, and he had the gift of being able to infuse a fighting spirit into his men, who respected him for his stubborn strength and tenacity of purpose." - DSAB III, p. 744 R1462 [251] 293.

The phrase 'methods of barbarism' referred specifically to the devastation of the country and the concentration camp system during the Anglo Boer War.

"The 1st April 1989 marked the first day of peace in Namibia. After seemingly endless years of dispute between South Africa and the United Nations, after 23 years of bush warfare between the Marxist

42 orientated South West Africa People's Organisation - SWAPO, and South African forces, which had spread from Namibia into Angola and, at times, into Zambia, and after eight months of American brokered talks between South Africa, Cuba and Angola, Namibia was finally on course for UN supervised 'free and fair elections' in November 1989, which would lead to independence in More than 1600 of [SWAPO leader Sam Nujoma's] PLAN fighters, who should have long been removed to camps north of the 16th parallel by the Angolans and Cubans, under UN supervision, were massing in Angola along the Namibian border, heavily armed with everything from anti tank to sophisticated anti aircraft weapons. On the night of 31st March-1st April, they surged over in what they obviously believed was an unstoppable wave. A wave which once it broke into pools, they believed, would be allowed by a weak UN to remain in Namibia and subvert the elections by means of a brutal intimidation campaign. But they overlooked a wild card. It was a thin blue line of some 1200 SWA Policemen of the northern border command, many of them former members of the counter-insurgency unit, Koevoet, whose heavy weapons had been removed from their Casspirs in terms of the peace plan. But what those policemen... lacked in weaponry, they more than made up with sheer guts, fighting skills and undying courage. For nine bitter days until the Mount Etjo Agreement was signed, they fought the SWAPO infiltrators to a grim standstill, in the closing stages with air force and military help, beating them hands down. Peter Stiff was there while the fighting was on." - From the foreword. R860 [590] 308.

From the massacre which spurred a South African on to win the V.C. during the Indian Mutiny of 1857, to the heroic self-sacrifice of South Africa's "Pathfinder" pilot over Germany in 1945, the story surrounding every Victoria Cross award is told. In addition the campaigns in which the awards were won are described and the later lives of the recipients detailed.' R516 [607] 322.

Leyds was a remarkable man in every way, with a strong personality and great diplomatic ability. This was basically characterised by diligence and, while he never became an Afrikaner in the cultural sense, by loyalty to his adopted fatherland. He also made a name for himself as a historian and although in his research he relied heavily on published British sources, his findings were generally irrefutable.

The original version of Viljoen's Reminiscences, which subsequently appeared in English. Viljoen's memoirs were written while a prisoner-of-war on St Helena, and published before the conclusion of hostilities. 'In humorously alluding to the fabulous tales about him which had appeared in the British papers, the General remarks that "after the several coups de grace in the field, and the tragic execution at De Aar... all which is left of Ben Viljoen... still pans out at a fairly robust young fellow - quite an ordinary young fellow indeed, thirty-four years of age, of middle height and build," although a periodical narrated how, bound to a chair, and placed near his open grave, he had met his doom with "rare stoicism and fortitude."... The work is free from bitterness, and is characterised by a fairness and lack of bragging which favourably distinguishes it from other publications written from the Boer point of view, while the humour, candour, and good-nature displayed in the volume are undeniable. The author was instructed by General Joubert to proceed to the Natal frontier, and he subsequently joined the troops under General Kock's command. He does not appear to have had a high opinion of his leader, and remarks, possibly if we "had had less to do with arrogant and stupid old men, we should have reached Cape Town and Durban."' - Mendelssohn.
