商品簡介
This volume documents the phase of white contact with the Transgariep region in Africa from 1819 to 1840 through written accounts left by the first white travelers. White hunters from the Cape Colony visited the area now known as the Free State from the end of the eighteenth century, and in 1825 seasonal migration by white farmers was officially allowed, which soon developed into permanent settlement. In 1838, a Trekker party acquired the area around the modern Winburg from its original black inhabitants, and in 1846, a British Resident settled at Bloemfontein, followed by proclamation of British sovereignty in 1848. Published in 2003, this book is now available in the US distributed by International Publishers Marketing. Annotation Ac2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
