'This biographical dictionary contains the names and personal data of over 400 persons who played some part in Rhodesia and also South Africa during the period 1836-1880.

The 400 persons whose short life-history is told in this book, all had one thing in common - whether they were traders, hunters, gold-diggers, or missionaries and scholars - they were "Pioneers". Whether they were after adventure and gold, or had more noble intentions, they all shared the hard, and often dangerous life of the Pioneer. And the experiences of all these people joined together make this book a historical document, telling about life in Rhodesia and South Africa in the nineteenth century.' - editor's note
