"With the Boer Forces" by Howard Clemens Hillegas is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This narrative provides a firsthand depiction of the Boer fighters during the Second Boer War, detailing their experiences, motivations, and the social dynamics of the Boer community. The author, a newspaper correspondent, aims to present an unbiased view of the struggle from the Boer perspective. The opening of the work sets the stage for the author’s journey into the Boer country, highlighting the isolation faced by the Boers due to British blockades. Hillegas discusses the economic exploitation of the Boers by Portuguese authorities at Lorenzo Marques and describes his observations of the Boers’ tenacity and respect for their cause, as well as their relationships with British soldiers. Through vivid descriptions, he illustrates the complexities of this conflict, paving the way for deeper explorations of the Boer military system and the cultural identity within the ranks as the narrative unfolds.
