Trader on the Veld

Albert Jackson with Eric Rosenthal

Published by (Cape Town: A. A. Balkema, 1958)

The author, a German Jew, came to South Africa in 1888 at the age of 14, and prospered over the years as a 'smous' (a local term for an itinerent trader). His story was told to and written by Eric Rosenthal. "This book is not meant as a biography in the ordinary sense, but as a picture of that vanished South Africa in which I had the privilege of spending my early days. Since I have always enjoyed telling stories - and have been lucky enough to be asked for more by my listeners - I have this time gone all out and talked about many things one normally overlooks - food, drink and daily life in the old-time Backveld. My friend, Eric Rosenthal, who has 'pumped' me and put the story into shape, deserves my particular thanks.".
