Robert C. Germond's Chronicles of Basutoland is a historical compilation that provides a running commentary on events in Basutoland (modern-day Lesotho) from 1830 to 1902. The book is based on records from French Protestant missionaries who documented the regions political, social, and cultural developments.
Germond assembles and translates these accounts, offering insights into Basotho leadership, particularly King Moshoeshoe I, and the interactions between Basotho, Boers, British colonial forces, and neighboring African groups. The book covers conflicts, treaties, migrations, and the evolving role of missionaries in shaping Basotho society.
