Dictionary of South African Biography, volume 3, page 626: Moodie arrived in South Africa to join his brother Benjamin who was farming at Grootvadersbosch near Swellendam. In 1821 he obtained land at Sir Rufane Donkin's abortive Fredericksburg settlement but the following May found himself to be almost the last person left there. It was a plan of which Lord Charles Somerset had thoroughly disapproved and with Moodie's departure the scheme came to an end. He went to join Benjamin on Long Hope, the latter's new property on the west bank of the Lower Bushman River. In 1828 he tired of farming and set out on a long journey through Kaffraria before settling in Grahamstown, leaving South Africa in 1832. A prolific writer, Moodie vividly describes his various activities and travels and in, 'Ten Years in South Africa', leaves an important record of the country at that time.'

Simple buyer remorse warrants a return of book(s) within 30 days of purchase, but then only the cost of the book will be refunded (postage costs both ways are NOT refundable) provided the book(s) is received by me within 30 days of the buyer receiving it, and provided the book(s) is returned to me in the same condition in which I dispatched it. If I have accidentally grossly misrepresented the book(s), then I will allow a return, and will cover return postage costs and issue a full refund, to include original postage costs. I will not be held responsible for book(s) damaged during shipment if a buyer does NOT procure insurance against such damage. If a buyer procures insurance coverage against loss or damage, then I will follow up with the shipping carrier to obtain a refund for the buyer.
