viii + 305 pp of double-column text (in Afrikaans; though, unusually, all the chapter titles are quotations in English) + an art paper section with 174 captioned b/w photographs. The final letterpress section includes a 30 pp bibliography and a 10 pp index.

The laminated jacket illustration, described in detail on the book's back flap, is a photograph of a 1851 painting by Thomas Baines preserved in the Pretoria Archives. 

In 1846 is 'n klein Britse garnisoen in die nabyheid van die Bloemfontein geplaas in 'n poging om die vrede in die Transoranje te bewaar; honderd jaar later het hier 'n stad van meer as sestigduisend inwoners bestaan.
