Wrappers a bit rubbed; trace of crease to upper cover; a little foxing. Good to very good condition. Afrikaans text. The second in a series of oldtimers' accounts of life in the Marico district of the Transvaal, the focus in this volume being on transport within this remote region during the final quarter of the 19th century. 'Vir besonderhede oor die skrywer en oor die aanloop tot hierdie publikasie word die leser verwys na die eerste nommer in die reeks t.w. "Boere en Jagters in Ou Marico" (Pro Rege, Potchefstroom, 1974) deur dieselfde skrywer. Wat nou in hierdie nommer volg, is die herinneringe van volwassenes en bejaardes in die Marico-omgewing wat deur Komdt. Gronum in sy jeugjare versamel is tesame met enkele van sy eie ervaringe. Die sentrale onderwerp is die vervoerwese van die laaste kwaart van die vorige eeu. Hierin neem die transportryery met ossewaens en later met muil- en perdekoetse, 'n oorwegende plek in.' .
