Rev Colin Rae - Malaboch : Or, Notes From My Diary on The Boer Campaign of 1894 Against the Chief Malaboch - 1898

A very RAREand beautiful and interesting book...."Malaboch : Or, Notes From My Diary on The Boer Campaign of 1894 Against the Chief Malaboch"....
This detailed account by a British cleric is the standard work on the little-known Boer Campaign of 1894. to oust the Chief Malaboch's tribe from their homeland in the North Transvaal. The campaign was touched off by the refusal of Malboch to pay taxes to the Transvaal, in lieu of which he scornfully presented 'ninw miserable bullocks' to the commissioners who were sent to collect his dues. A military drive was launched against him, which succeeded in its objectives. Malaboch himself was captured alive and imprisoned in Pretoria jail. Replete with racist attitudes and terminology this account is unmissable to all interested in the history of black and white relations in South Africa.
Book in overall good ti very good condition. Inside light spots of foxing but overall clean. Lacking map at the end of the book. Externally original cloth with gilt a bit faded, light wear around edges and corners, shelfwear, boards a bit darkened.
