BRITISH RESIDENTS AT THE CAPE 1795-1819. Biographical Records of 4800 Pioneers

This reference book lists, in alphabetical order, over 4 800 pioneers of British stock who made the Cape their home - temporarily or permanently - during the first twenty-five years of British rule, and before the first large-scale British settlement of 1820. Biographical information is provided about each settler, special emphasis being given to the more obscure among them rather than those whose particulars may be found in encyclopaedias. These biographies are supplemented by General Notes, and a Commentary: Streets and Squares that have changed their names; Some misleading surnames; British Regiments and Warships which served at the Cape 1795-1819; and a Bibliography.
