Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Northward Trek It is no easy task to write the history of events which have happened within the memory of the living generation, and the task becomes even more difficult when, as in my own case, many of the principal actors, and the scenes of their actions, are personally known to the author. Inevitably, prejudices creep into the narrative; true perspective becomes difficult - some may even say impossible - to attain; incidents which future historians may consider trivial, seem of paramount importance; men whose right to be remembered, coming generations may ignore, appear of absorbing interest to the writer of to-day. For these reasons I am sending this volume out, prepared to meet with a certain measure of criticism, even of denial; and perhaps, in the end, the volume may but serve as an aid to some future historian, who, viewing events from a greater distance, will see them in a clearer light, unobscured by the dust of controversy. Yet, none the less, I feel that the book is justified, on the grounds that it will preserve records which might otherwise be lost. The very difficulty which I have encountered in obtaining material from the men who took part in the later stages of the Northward Trek proves how hard it would be for the writer of twenty years hence to construct anything in the nature of a living narrative.
