This is one of the author's later books. The first editor of Die Vaderland, Preller wrote profusely in Afrikaans, although occasionally in English as well, on the Voortrekkers and on other periods of Afrikaner history (including Piet Retief, Louis Trichardt, six volumes on Voortrekker people).

Andries Pretorius was the commandant-general of the 470-man commando at the Battle of Blood River and the man who authored the vow that if the trekkers were victorious the 16th of December would forever be honoured.
