About This Item

(Bloemfontein: A. C. White P. & P. Co. Ltd, 1937). Title continues: Ter herdenking aan die Stoere Voortrekkers van 'n eeu gelede, voortplanters van beskawing en stigters van 'n Nasie. 270 x 216 mm; saddle-stitched pictorial paper wrappers; pp. 19; map; photographs. Wrappers a little worn; archival tape strengthening to tail of spine. Very good condition. Afrikaans text. "Dit is Aprilmaand 1837. Langs die noordelike oewer van Laaispruit waar dit in Vetrivier vloei, staan saamgeskaar meer dan duisend Voortrekkerwaens deur Voortrekkergesinne bewoon. Hendrik Potgieter, Sarel Celliers, Gerrit Maritz en Piet Retief - leiers van hulle verskillende trekke - is almal daar. Was dit afspraak dat hulle op een plek en op een tydstip so bymekaar is? Nee! Dit was noodgedwonge. Hendrik Potgieter en Sarel Celliers was op die spoor van Trigardt na die Noorde, toe die moordende assegaai van Moselekatse by Vechtkop in Oktober 1836 hulle terugvoer na Thaba 'Nchu. Gerrit Maritz en Piet Retief, wie se eindbestemming Natal was, is albei hier vertraag om 'n reddende hand te reik aan Sarel Cilliers en Hendrik Potgieter nadat al hul vee weggevoer was deur die impi van Moselekatse. Selfs Piet Uys moes sy trek na Natal ook hier onderbreek om later te help om die mag van Moselekatse te vernietig. Drang van omstandighede dus het die Trekkers saamgebring op die oewers van Vetrivier in die voorjaar van 1837. ... Sedert daardie tyd is Winburg die senter gewees van Voortrekker-bedrywighede. Die dorp is offisiëel in 1842 deur Andries Pretorius aangelê." .
