THE STORY OF THE BRITISH SETTLERS OF 1820 IN SOUTH AFRICA - HE Hockly

Published by Juta, 1957 *2nd edition

Hardcover with dustjacket. Jacket has a little wear. Some age toning to pages. Otherwise a good tight copy.

 

This book 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.
