The work details the author's experiences and observations while living among the Barotse people, particularly during significant leadership under the Paramount Chief Lewanika. The book likely explores the culture, customs, and social dynamics of the Barotse nation, alongside the historical context of their interactions with colonial forces. The opening of the book introduces readers to the personal reflections of the author, who expresses gratitude for the assistance he received while compiling the work. He highlights the leadership of the late Paramount Chief Lewanika, noting his noteworthy reign marked by statesmanship and alliances with European missionaries. Stirke sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Barotse people's origins, their societal structure, and their agricultural and cultural practices, emphasizing the rich tapestry of influences that shape their identity.
