Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems of South African History: A. D. 1497-1910 The compiler of a book of verse bearing on South African history will perhaps be said to have a somewhat limited field of operations; and the field, on examination, is really more limited than it looks. Taking the landing of Van Riebeek at the Cape in 1652 as the starting-point of European expansion in the southern portion of the continent, the history of ´South Africa´, from the European point of view, for a century and a half thereafter is the history of the fortunes and expansion of the Dutch settlement at the Cape, which at the end of that period includes but a fraction of the area of the Cape Province as it is to-day. Not until so recently as the middle of the nineteenth century or thereby, with the foundation of the Overberg republics and the colonization of Natal, does ´South Africa´ approximate to the territorial limits which the present generation associates with it. To-day we sometimes include loosely in the term not merely the area embraced by the Union but the great territory of Rhodesia as well; in other words, the whole of British South Africa.
