"Francois le Vaillant's Journals of his travels into the interior of the eastern and north-western Cape in the years 1781 to 1784 form one of the most interesting and well-written of such accounts by early travellers in South Africa. Although much of what he wrote appeared far-fetched and raised considerable controversy and even ridicule in his own time and subsequently, the original journals are extremely readable and amusing. The author of this book has succeeded in bringing them truly to life . Here, then, is the story of Francois le Vaillant as he emerges from his own recounting of his adventures; not concerned with the many controversies which have surrounded him and his work for nearly 200 years, but presenting him as he obviously wished to be seen by his contemporaries and by posterity.".

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. Francois le Vaillant's Journals of his travels into the interior of the eastern and north-western Cape in the years 1781 to 1784 form one of the most interesting and well-written of such accounts by early travellers in South Africa. Although much of what he wrote appeared far-fetched and raised con siderable controversy and even ridicule in his own time and subsequently, the original journals are extremely readable and amusing. The author of this book has succeeded in bringing them truly to life and the result, we believe, will delight and fascinate readers for many years to come. Le Vaillant's journals were embellished with pictures drawn either by himself during his travels or under his super vision, later, in Europe. A collection of 165 of le Vaillant's water-colours has recently been purchased by Parliament for the sum of Ris ooo, and some of these (in black and wbite) are reproduced in this book. Here, then, is the story of Francois le Vaillant as he emerges from his own recounting of his adventures; not con cerned with the many controversies which have surrounded him and his work for nearly 200 years, but presenting him as he obviously wished to be seen by his contemporaries and by posterity.

"The history of this Valley is the story of the men and women whose faith in its potentialities remained undaunted. At times it has hung upon a thread; at all times it hangs upon a thread - a thread of water - for the river is the lifeline by sole means of which the Valley, with its own scant rainfall, can live. At all times the eyes of the Valley are turned anxiously towards the Karoo. The story of the Sundays River Valley has always been and always will be, a story of struggle as well as of success. At its most prosperous, water supply still is the most precious, and the most unpredicatable, factor. It is also the deciding factor. The citrus farmer is ever faced with the problems of drought and 'brak'; of windstorms and pests. This is no Paradise where the heart's desires are easily fulfilled. Here nothing is gained without struggle and effort. Nature's bounty is here, but it is the reward only of courage and effort.".
