Along the byways of South African history Leonard Lourens leads you to meet Alexander Selkirk, the original Robinson Crusoe, ashore while his ship refits in Table Bay; Gordon of Khartoum being uncivil to the Governor's lady; Shaka Zulu trying to buy the first white woman living in Natal, and the van Breda's when outlawed by Britain. There are, too, Trichardt and his unruly son; the French Heroine of Grahamstown's siege; Kruger hunting Lion when a boy; the Xosa family Soga; Goring in South West Africa; and Rhodes's thirsty brother Herbert among the many characters in this fascinating account of earlier days in South Africa.
