Text: Afrikaans. A beautiful, highly nostalgic collection of essays, historical vignettes, and cultural sketches celebrating the history, people, and landscape of the Orange Free State. Edited by the distinguished cultural historian Pieter W. Grobbelaar, this volume captures the true spirit of the region from early trekker history and tales of the Anglo-Boer War to the unique social fabric of both old and modern Free State towns.
As seen in the contents page, the book serves as an extraordinary regional anthology featuring prose, commentary, and literary contributions from some of South Africa's most prominent historical and literary voices, including M.C.E. van Schoor, N.P. van Wyk Louw, Antjie Krog, Andre Huguenet, Dolf van Niekerk, and C.R. Swart. A genuinely scarce and immersive reference piece for any collector of regional South African history and heritage.
