LONG LONG AGO : Early Natal and Zululand - reprint of the rare 1929 first edition

Facsimile reprint of the original 1929 edition.

This edition is limited to 1000 numbered copies of which this is no.53

Bookplate of Achilles Bozas on front endpaper. This is significant as the publisher has printed a note on the verso of the half-title page:

'For many years this fine book on Natal's early history has been unobtainable. We would like to record our thanks to A. Bozas Esq. for the loan of his precious early copy and to the former publishers Knox Printing Co. for permission to reprint.'

From the front flap:

'Samuelson was a highly respected resident, well known in Natal and was an extremely knowledgable person on the Zulu people and their customs.

First published in 1929 this fine book gives an intimate picture of the early years in South Africa - the Boer War etc. and discusses many famous people of the time. Samuelson knew and understood the Zulu people well and his history of the Zulu kings - Regiments, etc., together with his absorbing chapters on the customs of the Zulus, form a valuable part of this interesting book.'

Much of this knowledge was in danger of being lost forever and we are proud to have been given permission by his former publishers to reprint this splendid record..'
