- Summary
- "1820 descendant Ralph Goldswain retells the tale of the settlers' dramatic first three years in South Africa in lively first-person accounts. Their letters, journals and diaries tell of the dangerous sea voyage, the dismal introduction to their new country, and establishing farms in a difficult environment plagued by drought, floods and locusts. ... [W]e journey with this resilient group of people as they battle nature, an increasingly hostile Xhosa nation and an exploitative colonial government."--Back cover.
