About the product Text facsimile of the Maskew Miller edition of 1952. 8vo; pictorial boards; endpaper map; pp. xiv + 310, incl. index; plates; folding genealogical table; line drawings in text. Tipped in on the half-title is a ticket for the"Malagas Pontoon"issued by the Swellendam Divisional Council (the hand-operated pont at Malgas on the Breede River is the last of its kind in South Africa). Near fine condition."In the heyday of the old Cape Dutch civilization they spoke of the coastland east of the Hottentot Holland mountains as the Overberg. This'new Canaan', as Lady Anne Barnard called it, is described by Dr Burrows as'one of the richest repositories of our national heritage'. The success of the first printing of this book many years ago proves his claim. The history of the Swellendam Drostdy, the short-lived Swellendam republic, the birth and development of sheep farming, glimpses of the lovely old homesteads, and the families who owned them, Van Bredas, Van Reenens, Reitzes, Moodies; the story of the fabulous Barry empire, the lost seaports; all these are revealed in a book that is not only for the collector and historian but for all who enjoy a good story and glimpses of an intriguing, romantic past."
