"History of the Zulu War and Its Origin" by Frances E. Colenso is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book discusses the origins and events surrounding the Zulu War of 1879, detailing the interactions between British colonial authorities and the Zulu people. The author aims to provide a comprehensive narrative that highlights the political and social contexts leading to the conflict. The opening of the work presents an elaborate preface by Colenso, where she addresses the influences behind her writing, particularly noting the contributions of her father, the Bishop of Natal. She reflects on her motivation to document the Zulu War and emphasizes that despite her lack of extensive qualifications compared to other family members, her commitment to justice and truth drove her to undertake this task. The beginning also introduces the initial tensions between the Zulu people and colonial governance, imperfectly characterized by prior peaceful relations turned tumultuous, setting the stage for the narrative that follows in the subsequent chapters.
