Synopsis

Traverse the Bushveld with a hard-won guide and a team of oxen, learning patience, grit, and resourceful living on every mile.

The book blends dramatic travel with practical observations from a long trek across rough country. You’ll follow a wagon train, meet courageous animals, and witness how workers and drivers cope with drought, heavy loads, and harsh weather. It offers reflections on leadership, endurance, and the everyday lessons found on a difficult journey.

- Realistic scenes of life on the veld, from dust and heat to the work of moving a heavy load.
- Portraits of characters whose problems, courage, and failures illuminate the craft of hard travel.
- Vivid depictions of animals at work, their strengths, and the limits of endurance.
- Moments of insight that connect the daily grind to larger questions about resilience and humanity.

Ideal for readers who enjoy tough-mene adventure memoirs, historical travelogues, and portraits of life on the South African frontier.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
