Excerpt from On Trek in the Transvaal: Or Over Berg and Veldt in South Africa You may have nothing new to relate to the few who have gone over the same ground, but think of those who have not done so, and who, now that the flag of old England floats over Pretoria, might like to visit it too. Who can tell them better than one who has traversed the road, how best to set about the journey, What to do, and what to leave undone? Don't be churlish. Even if you get a little laughed at for your mistakes, you may save others from making the same, &c., 850.

Originally published in 1937 and written by de Kiewiet who in his lifetime was recognized as one of the premier historians of British imperial policy and African history, this book covers the years 1871-1885 in South Africa’s history, discussing racial, social and economic issues. These cover the initiation and collapse of Lord Carnarvon’s confederation policy, the annexation and the retrocession of the Transvaal, the Sekukuni, Zulu and Cape-Bastuto wars, the last of the nine Kaffir wars on the Eastern frontier of the Cape, the creation of the (then) Basutoland Protectorate and the development of the Kimberley diamond mines. Using original source material such as the Colonial Office Departmental minutes, he considers and explains the British policy.
