What I Saw In Kaffir-Land is a travelogue written by Stephen Bartlet Lakeman in 1880. The book covers his journey through South Africa, specifically the region known as Kaffir-Land, which is now part of the Eastern Cape province. Lakeman was an Englishman who traveled to South Africa in the late 19th century to explore the region and document his experiences. The book begins with an introduction to the geography and history of the region, including the different tribes and their customs. Lakeman then describes his journey through Kaffir-Land, including his encounters with various tribes, their leaders, and their way of life. He also provides detailed descriptions of the landscape, flora, and fauna of the region. Throughout the book, Lakeman reflects on the impact of colonialism on the region and the interactions between the European colonizers and the native tribes. He also discusses the role of missionaries in the region and their efforts to convert the native population to Christianity. Overall, What I Saw In Kaffir-Land provides a fascinating and detailed account of life in South Africa in the late 19th century, as seen through the eyes of a European traveler. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex relationships between different cultures and the impact of colonialism on indigenous populations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
