While most of the text relates military adventures, the author found time to hunt wildebeest and lion in the kopje country near Bloemfontein." - Czech. "In his second work, 'Camp life and sport in South Africa' (London, 1878), he describes his experiences in the C.M.R. as well as hunting trips and the hardships suffered by game during periods of continuous drought." - DSAB III, p. 545. 'An account of some years' service with the Cape Mounted Rifles, in the course of which Captain Lucas went through a campaign in Kaffraria [the Eighth Frontier War] and afterwards visited Bloemfontein. He accompanied Sir George Clarke on his mission to restore self-government to the "Orange River Sovereignty," but was of opinion that the retrocession of the country was unpopular amongst many of the settlers and inhabitants. The volume contains many notes on sport and hunting, and several coloured engravings." - Mendelssohn.
