A record of adventure during the Anglo-Boer War. 1900 first edition with 477 pages in good antiquarian conditon. Three names in ink in front. Anglo-Boereoorlog. The author, in the capacity of a war correspondent of the Daily Mail and the Sphere, was present at the battle of Pieter's Hill and the Relief of Ladysmith. Later on he made his way through Basutoland, and crossed the Boer lines near Thaba' Nchu, but was taken prisoner at Dewetsdorp, and escaping, was recaptured at Reddersburg and imprisoned for nine weeks at Pretoria. He gives his impressions of three Boer prisons and a very graphic account of the state of the capital of the Transvaal during the last days of Boer government before the British occupation.
