"South Africa, vol. II." by Anthony Trollope is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the Transvaal region, detailing its geography, history, and the socio-political dynamics following its annexation by the British Empire. Trollope likely provides insights into the lives of the Dutch settlers known as the Boers, their interactions with indigenous tribes, and the broader implications of British colonial rule in the area. The opening of the volume introduces the author's journey from Newcastle to Pretoria, emphasizing the vast and often harsh terrain of the Transvaal. Trollope reflects on the challenges faced by travelers, such as finding adequate accommodations and resources for their horses. He comments on the state of the Boer society he encounters, offering a critique of their lifestyles and customs while considering the impact of British annexation. As he traverses the landscape, he highlights the isolation of the Boer community and their struggle for progress amidst the backdrop of changing national governance.
