'The Cape Gunsmith deals with another aspect of our history, the world of those pioneer businessmen who became the first gunsmiths and gun dealers in our country. Fascinating details of personal hardships and adventures enliven the biographies of the more colourful personalities while particular attention is also devoted to the weapons which they assembled or sold. The result of many years' research, this book contains a wealth of information on the men who supplied firearms to the Voortrekkers, the famous big game hunters, the Commando's and the Volunteer Regiments in the unsettled years between 1800 and 1900.
More than 150 photographs illustrate some of the rarest and most famous firearms in South Africa.' - editor's note
