Six Months At The Cape is a book written by R.M. Ballantyne that chronicles his six-month journey to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. The book is a first-hand account of Ballantyne's experiences as he travels through the country, observing the people, wildlife, and landscapes. Throughout the book, Ballantyne shares his thoughts on the history and culture of South Africa, as well as his own personal reflections on the journey. The book is an interesting and informative read for anyone interested in travel writing, South African history, or the natural world. With vivid descriptions and engaging prose, Six Months At The Cape is a classic work of travel literature that continues to captivate readers today.Our cart had a hood; the roads were very bad, and the behaviour of that hood was stupendous! Its attachment to the cart was, so to speak, partial; therefore it possessed a semi-independent motion which was perplexing. You could not count on its actions. A sudden lurch of the cart to right or left did, of course, carry the hood with it, and, counting on that, you laid your sudden plans to avoid collision; but the elasticity of the hood enabled it to give you a slap on the face before obeying its proper impulse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
