Synopsis "Between Sun and Sand: "A Tale of an African Desert""

Excerpt from Between Sun and Sand: A Tale of an African Desert Lest the account given in this book of the "trekking" springbucks should be considered an exaggeration, it may be mentioned that in 1892, when the author held the appointments of Civil Commissioner for Namaqualand and Special Magistrate for the Northern Border of the Cape Colony, he was obliged to issue a hundred stand of Government arms to the Boers for the purpose of driving back the game which threatened to overrun those parts of Namaqualand where ground is cultivated. As it was, there was some difficulty in repelling the invasion. The term "Bushman," strictly speaking, only applies to the diminutive former inhabitants of the Desert, who are now practically extinct to the south of the Orange River. The Trek-Boer, however, usually calls every Hottentot of low stature a Bushman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
