The book was originally published in 1889.Casalis provides a detailed and vivid description of the Basuto people, their customs, traditions, and way of life. He also gives an account of the political and social conditions of the region during his time there.The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Casalis's life in Basuto Land. He talks about his arrival in the region, his first impressions of the Basuto people, his work as a missionary, and his interactions with the local chiefs and rulers.Casalis also describes the landscape and natural beauty of the region, including its mountains, valleys, and rivers. He talks about the flora and fauna of the area, and the challenges he faced in adapting to the harsh and unfamiliar environment.Overall, My Life In Basuto Land is a fascinating and insightful account of life in southern Africa during the late 19th century, written by a man who was deeply committed to his work as a missionary and who had a deep respect for the people and culture of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
