About This Item

(Pretoria: J. L. van Schaik, 1924). 8vo; original pictorial pale grey cloth; pp. vii + (i) + 187, incl. index; plates. Very light wear to extremities; previous owner's name signed on front endpaper; browned throughout, owing to paper stock used. Very good condition. Afrikaans text. (Nienaber I, p. 344) Uncommon, intensely interesting cultural history study of the life of the Voortrekkers while on trek, and, particularly, on their farms. Gustav Preller writes in his introduction: "Dit verskaf my veel genoege om die welgeslaagde werk van meneer B. Spoelstra by my landgenote te mag aanbeveel. Ek reken hy het daarmee gelewer 'n bydrae van blywende waarde tot ons asnog seer skrale kultuurhistoriese literatuur; en in 'n vorm wat, hoewel dit ál die materiaal van die wetenskap as sodanig oorsien, nogtans genot sowel as lering kan verskaf ook aan die gewone leser." The subjects considered are as follows: Hoe die Boere hulle plase gekry het en hoe die plase afgebaken is; Koeëls-giet en Gewere-laai; Ou Buurskap; Die Begrafnis op die Plaas; Nagmaal op die Platteland; Die Vierperdewa; Die Jong Span; Hoe die Kind geleer het; Die Hartbeeshuisie; Die Kakebeenwaentjie; Die Velsaal of die ou Niertjie-saal; Die ou Boerploeg; Op die Koringvloer; Die Koringmeul; Soutmakery op die ou Boeremanier; Die Boer as Leerlooier en Skoenmaker; Huishougoedjies; Die Medisyne-trommel; Die Waterkerse; Seepkook deur die Ounooi; Velklere en hoe hulle gewas is; 'n Jagparty deur Kaffers nog in 1883; Die verhouding van Kaffer en Boer in die ou dae; Die Regspleging in Transvaal in die ou dae; Die Wapenskouings; Die Transportryery; Die Boerkommando. .
