Land of Distant Horizons - Victor Pohl.

Hardcover in good condition. 1972 edition.

 No dust jacket. Good binding, neat book.  A small mark on the foreword page at the bottom. The story of Carl Pohl who arrived in SA in 1810, and his family's trek to the northern wilds of Bushman territory.

Victor Pohl (1886 - 1979), was a writer born of an Afrikaans- speaking family in South Africa. Pohl wrote English fiction and nonfiction that was central to South African children's literature of the mid-20thcentury in embodying the love of white South Africans for their pioneers, for the unspoiled regions of the land, and for its wildlife. Most of his books, most notably Bushveld Adventures (1940), were autobiographical. The novel Farewell the Little People (1968) was a well-meaning but inaccurate tribute to the persecuted San. His books were immensely popular in South Africa, prescribed for school reading here and in New Zealand, and translated into various European languages.
