Adventures of a Boer Family - Victor Pohl - 154g

"This book in no way sets out to give a history of the conflict between Briton and Boer during the years 1899-1902; although what I have written is correct historically, and leaves me with a clear conscience on that score. It merely recounts faithfully the adventures and vicissitudes of my own family during that epic struggle. The fact that General de Wet figures so prominently is simply because two of my brothers served under him in the capacity of scouts during nearly the whole course of the war, and accordingly had the opportunity of studying this remarkable character whose exploits thrilled the world."(Author's Foreword)Price: R380.00Edition: First edition, second impressionPublished: 1944Publishers: Faber and Faber LtdCondition: Hardcover in fair condition, with cup stain (ring) on the front cover and shelf wear to the corners of the cover and top and bottom of the spine.
