Sobre este artículo
Books of Africa, 1968 "Frontier Flames is the story of the frontiersmen and settlers of Southern Africa, and especially of the Eastern Cape. Set down on a desolate coast with their wives and children, a few sheep and oxen, wagons and tents, and told never to go out ploughing without their guns, these settlers of the Eastern Cape faced a difficult and precarious existence. Trouble with the Xhosa tribes soon started. Continual cattle raids were a constant irritation, and, despite the various frontier policies pursued by governors of the Cape, battle after battle took place. Yet life on the frontier was gay and exciting too. There was the gallant lion- and lady-killer, Roualeyn Gordon Cumming, who set hearts aflame wherever he went. Coenraad de Buys - rebel, outlaw, tough freebooter, Xhosa chieftain and the founder of a people; Helen, the woman gun-runner and revengeful Lady Godiva; the militant chaplains of the City of Saints; the first anaesthetic in Southern Africa; the raving Rajah; the quest for the Evans-type ostrich feather and Emperor Norton I are some of the colourful personalities and amazing incidents in the story of the flaming frontier of the Eastern Cape." 286 pages with photographs and index. ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. Size: Approx 6" Wide - 9" Tall
