About This Item
(Grahamstown: privately published, 2003) 0868103926. 208 x 148 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. (i) + v + 361, incl. index; plates, incl. map. Wrappers ever so slightly rubbed; earlier owner's name signed on title page; trace of foxing. Very good condition. "MADONELA charts Donald Strachan's remarkable career as a pioneer in the north-eastern Transkei and his direct involvement in most major events there during the second half of the nineteenth century - a phase of the South African past which still awaits close scrutiny by professional historians. Strachan, in his time as trader, farmer, Griqua and colonial magistrate, commander of black and white military forces, Cape parliamentarian and progenitor of an extensive family, dominated a complex community in which other strongly individualistic men co-operated, competed, failed or prospered." .
