Signed by the author on the title page, with his signed presentation inscription to earlier owner Dr. J. F. Midgley on the front free endpaper. 8vo; original brown cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. (xii) + 203, incl. index; plates; full-page line drawings. Dustwrapper a bit rubbed, and sunned on spine panel; some stippling to top edges of boards; trace of soiling to fore- and top edges; a little foxing to endpapers. Good condition. "In this book Jose Burman deals with the disasters which have studded the fantastic expansion of this country - disasters from which some lands might never have recovered, but which scarcely marred the progress of South Africa. Some disasters changed the history of the land: the killing of the Xhosa cattle broke the power of that nation, and opened the way to peaceful expansion of the Cape Colony's borders; the great fire of 1869, by destroying the indigenous forest that barred the way to the early travellers, allowed the completion of the coastal road system that created the Garden Route. ... But this book is not a mere catalogue of past horrors - it carries a message of hope for the future. The author shows how misfortune brings out the best in people, and describes the response to the challenge by those South Africans who have stood firm in the face of disaster."
