Among Boers and Basutos: The Story of Our Life on the Frontier is a memoir written by Fanny A. Barkly in 1894. The book provides a detailed account of the author's experiences living on the frontier of South Africa during the late 19th century. Barkly, the wife of a British colonial official, recounts her encounters with the Boers and Basutos, two of the most prominent ethnic groups in the region at the time. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the day-to-day activities of frontier life to the political and social upheavals that were taking place in the region. Barkly's writing is vivid and engaging, and she provides a unique perspective on the events of the time, including the First Boer War and the rise of the Zulu kingdom. Overall, Among Boers and Basutos is a fascinating historical document that provides a valuable insight into life on the South African frontier during a tumultuous period in the country's history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of South Africa, colonialism, or the experiences of women in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
