The many varied phases of an intensely human and stirring saga of steadfastness, high endeavour and ultimate achievement.

This second edition chronicles the arrival of the Settlers of 1820 on the shores of Southern Africa; their location on the Eastern Frontier of the old Cape Colony as a buffer against the increasing migration of the Bantu tribes westwards into the Colony; their early pioneering efforts to establish themselves in the face of seemingly insurmountable hardships and obstacles; the narrowly averted collapse of the infant settlement through drought, famine, flood, hostile invasion and war; and the eventual advance of its sturdy founders to peace, security and prosperity. With maps and over a hundred illustrations, most of them reproduced from rare old prints and valuable pictures of the period. Plus a complete list of the original Settlers. Written by Advocate Harold Edward Hockly, great-grandson of an original Settler of 1820.

First published November 1948 by Juta, Cape Town and Johannesburg. Reprinted July 1949. This is the second enlarged and revised edition of October 1957. Condition: Good. Jacket worn.
