1847 dispossession and migration

population movement in the Northern Cape during the 19th century

Plot

"This volume is about the people who had moved into Bushmanland and the Kareebergen (the mountains above Williston and Carnarvon) and how the annexation [in 1847] affected them. In particular, the Basters, Xhosa, Korannas and the San/Bushmen. Many of the former two groups were connected to Mission Stations. The penultimate chapter shows research and field work about two farms in the third quarter of the 19th century, giving indications of the lifestyles of the various occupiers."--Back cover
