Picard provides an overview of Cape Town's early history and development, with particular emphasis on how the city spread and grew. Picard places emphasis on day to day life and its impact. For example, the burghers' use of flaming torches to light the way to visit each other at night was unwise in a southeaster, as their houses had thatched roofs!
