Friends And Foes In The Transkei - Helen M. Prichard

""Friends and Foes in the Transkei"" is a book written by Helen M. Prichard, an Englishwoman who lived through the Cape Frontier War of 1877-78. The book provides a personal account of her experiences during the war, detailing her interactions with both friends and foes in the Transkei region of South Africa. Prichard's writing offers a unique perspective on the conflict, as she was not a soldier or official, but rather an ordinary civilian caught up in the war's upheaval. She describes the challenges of living in a war-torn area, including the loss of homes and livelihoods, as well as the danger of being caught in the crossfire. The book also delves into the complex relationships between different groups involved in the conflict, including the British, the Xhosa people, and the Boers. ""Friends and Foes in the Transkei"" is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on a little-known chapter of South African history, as well as the experiences of women during wartime.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
