Local history of the Piketberg region.

Inscribed to Dr Cor Pama on the f.f.e.p by the author's daughter, who completed and published the book after the author's death. Includes a letter in the same hand to Dr Pama, relating the beleaguered history of the publication, the difficulty in distributing and selling it -  the author tells of receiving an order from 'a certain Thorold' who is yet to pay her for a copy sent to him and her contemplating burning the remaining 800 copies of the book before she would sell them at R1 each.
