The Pace of the Ox (Signed, Hardcover) - Juta, Marjorie

The Boer President, famous during his own day as a national hero to his own people and dour opponent of British imperialism, had been largely forgotten with the passing of the years or written off as a pathetic failure. Marjorie Jutas work, based on considerable research, brought him to life again. Separating fact from fiction, the author described events in their proper sequence and against a correct historical background. Her book largely contributed to restore the balance. Marjorie Juta was the first to understand Krugers greatness of character. Her presentation is intensely dramatic and often moving. She paints a man with a rough exterior but the inner tenderness of an Oliver Cromwell, which escaped most of his contemporaries.
