Signed by all three authors on the title page. 207 x 146 mm; side-stitched pictorial wrappers; pp. xii + 96; photographs; maps. Very good condition. Afrikaans text. "Verskeie onsekerhede word in hierdie boek opgeklaar. Die monument staan beslis op 'n gedeelte van die plaas Strandfontein wat ongetwyfeld op die naam van hierdie Trekkerleier geregistreer was. Verder word die boek ryklik illustreer met 'n verskeidenheid kaarte en foto's; sommige voorheen onbekend en hier nuut afgedruk. Hierdie beeldmateriaal bring dan self ook groter helderheid." .

(Pretoria: Protea Boek Huis, 2003) 186919. 8vo; original purple boards, lettered in white on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 300, incl. index; map; plates. Fine condition. "Susanna Smit was die suster van die Trekkerleier Gert Maritz en die vrou van die Trekkerpredikant Erasmus Smit. Aan haar word die kreet van verset teen die Britse oorname van Natal toegeskryf wat verewig geraak het in die vorm, 'Liewer barrevoets oor die Drakensberge …' … In Die wêreld van Susanna Smit beskryf Karel Schoeman die lewe van 'n uitsonderlike vrou. Terselfdertyd beeld hy ook die agtergrond uit waarteen dit plaasgevind en die gebeure waardeur dit geraak is, van haar onrustige jeug aan die Oosgrens en haar verbintenisse met Bethelsdorp en die vroeë werksaamhede van die Londense Sendinggenootskap tot die Groot Trek en die opkoms en ondergang van die Republiek Natalia." .

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;… Read More

Dustwrapper a little edgeworn; light foxing to outermost leaves and edges. Very good condition. "Professor C. F. J. Muller, the acknowledged authority on the Great Trek, has brought together in this book the largest concentration of pictorial evidence ever published on this scale on the subject; it is the result of many years of archival research here and abroad. ... In exploring the visual documents collected in this book, the reader may begin to decide for himself whether the Great Trek was, as some historians think, a magnificent bid for political freedom in which to cradle a new nation or, as others say, the greatest disaster in the history of South Africa." .

"It will pain many white South Africans to learn that Piet Retief, whom they have been made to believe was a great national hero, is not entitled to that distinction at all. But there it is: the story of his life is one of failure from the very day he started on his own until the day he died on Hlomo-ambutu." .

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!
