About the product 8vo; dark brown boards, lettered in white on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper, housed in removable protector; pp. 308, incl. index; historical illustrations; map. Fine condition."In 1826 a group of emigrants from Griquatown under Adam Kok II was allowed to settle at the mission station of Philippolis in the Transgariep. This became the capital of a new Griqua Captaincy, which for several decades was an important factor in the politics of the Northern frontier and the cause of the British Government first becoming involved in the affairs of the area. Basing his account on contemporary sources, Karel Schoeman here describes fully for the first time the rise, development and collapse of the Philippolis Captaincy, and gives a detailed account of its organisation and administration and the lives of its inhabitants."
