Step back into the earliest days of British Natal with William C. Holden’s seminal 1855 historical account. A crucial primary source, this volume details the colony’s political, social, and economic evolution following its establishment. From the arrival of European settlers and the administration of the new government to the struggles of colonial life and complex interactions with the Zulu people, Holden provides a deep, mid-19th-century look at South African imperialism and its enduring legacy.
