Bushveld Doctor is the closest Louis Leipoldt came to an autobiography. It deals with his life as the first Medical Inspector of Schools in the Transvaal, from 1914 onwards, "years of pioneering inspection" , he wrote, "not likely to be forgotten... I travelled many thousands of miles every year, by rail, in a motor car, and on sometimes alone, sometimes accompanied by a school attendance officer to guide me when the road were not marked in the map..."Leipoldt's eye-witness account of an almost lost period of rural South African life, with its pleasure and problems, its achievements and defeats, is rich with anecdote and insight.
