"When the Jubilee of the British Settlers was celebrated in Grahamstown in 1870, the Rev Henry Hare Dugmore was chosen to tell the story of the Settlement, and the lecture he gave was later published . . . Dugmore had come as a child with the emigrants of 1820, and had shared fully in both the hardships and the achievement of the critical fifty years that followed . . . He was chosen to speak to them, because he had earned the right to speak for them . . . " (from the Introduction).

" . . . the text of the original narrative, published in Grahamstown in 1871, is reproduced unaltered apart from a few necessary corrections . . . [in addition] Dugmore's full account of his experiences as a missionary at Mount Coke and Wesleydale during the K****r War of 1835 [was] reproduced from an exceedingly rare volume of an early Methodist magazine . . . " (from the front flap).
