Colonel Greatheart is a novel written by Henry Christopher Bailey and first published in 1908. The story is set in the late 1800s in South Africa during the Second Boer War. The protagonist of the novel is Colonel John Greatheart, a British soldier who is sent to South Africa to fight against the Boers. Greatheart is a brave and honorable man who is respected by both his fellow soldiers and the Boers he fights against. The novel follows Greatheart's experiences during the war, including his capture by the Boers and his subsequent escape. Along the way, Greatheart meets a variety of characters, including a Boer woman named Elsa, who he falls in love with. The novel explores themes of love, war, and honor, and provides a detailed look at the politics and conflicts of the time period. Bailey's writing style is descriptive and engaging, and he provides vivid depictions of the South African landscape and the battles that take place there. The novel is also notable for its portrayal of the Boers, who are often depicted in a negative light in other works of the time period. Overall, Colonel Greatheart is a compelling historical novel that provides a unique perspective on the Second Boer War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
