Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Kaleidoscopic Transvaal This book is not an attempt to write history. It makes no pretension to minute photographic exactness, but should be looked upon rather as an impressionist sketch, giving the broad sweep of hill and valley, light and shade, as the observer sees them, without details of foliage or flower. Still less is it an autobiography, though it consists largely of reminiscences, interspersed with camp-fire stories and dd half-forgotten tales; and though it will be necessary to give a brief sketch of my life in the Transvaal, as a justification for this attempt to write on a subject bristling with problems, the complexity of which would tax a far abler pen than mine. When in 1870 my family came to the South African Republic, at that time already better known as the Transvaal, I was a boy just in my teens. In 1876, less than eighteen years old, I had left school, acted as a reporter, and entered a lawyer´s office.
