About This Item
(Cape Town: Tafelberg, 1978) 0624012298. Folio; original coarse, light brown cloth, lettered in black to spine and upper cover; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 111, incl. index; profusely illustrated with contemporary artwork and facsimiles, incl. some colour pictures; maps. Dustwrapper a little edgeworn; light foxing to outermost leaves and edges. Very good condition. "Professor C. F. J. Muller, the acknowledged authority on the Great Trek, has brought together in this book the largest concentration of pictorial evidence ever published on this scale on the subject; it is the result of many years of archival research here and abroad. ... In exploring the visual documents collected in this book, the reader may begin to decide for himself whether the Great Trek was, as some historians think, a magnificent bid for political freedom in which to cradle a new nation or, as others say, the greatest disaster in the history of South Africa." .
