"An early missionary account, chiefly of the Kuruman area.

The reader is first introduced to the rural and village life of the Cape Colony.

Sketches of social and religious life in the Free State and Transvaal Republic

are followed by a description of long-established mission stations.

Several chapters are devoted to the Makololo Mission, which was inaugurated

so auspiciously and ended so fatally. Narrating events as they took place, I have

left their lessons to be drawn by others. My journey to Matebele-land enables me

to describe the hideous form of society in a purely military tribe. Our residence at

Shoshong, and the experiences of the Mission there, are given in the concluding

chapters. The Appendix contains what may be read with advantage as an

introduction to the present work. I would specially direct attention to that part of it

which describes the results of the past contact of Europeans with South Africans."
