'There was probably no black man in South Africa whose name was so much in the mouth of the public and the press in the middle and towards the end of the 19th Century as that of Montshiwa (or Montshioa as it has been corrupted). There was certainly no better known African name in South Africa and England in those years commencing in 1880 and ending in 1886, and no person was more admired, lionised, petted, courted, and caressed by the one European section, while he was at the same time hated, abused, cursed, villified and damned by the other section. Such is the person whose life it is intended to sketch in these pages - Montshiwa, chief of the Tshidi branch of the Barolong tribe.'
The author was the grand-nephew of Montshiwa, the subject of this book.
