Riveting tale of frontier life
in nineteenth century Africa
First-hand recollections of the
Anglo-Zulu and Boer Wars
Moving descriptions of the besieged towns
of
Ladysmith, Kimberley
and Mafeking
It was said of George Dennison that he had
seen more active service in southern Africa
than any other living man. An eminent soldier
cast from a colonial mould of bitter experience,
he was also a frontiersman equal in standing to
any legendary figure of the American West.
In his late teens Dennison joined the
Bloenfontein
Rangers as a rough and ready
trooper, before making his way up through the
military hierarchy to become a distinguished
officer whose advice was sought by the likes of
Lord Kitchener, Sir Garnet Wolseley and other
British military names of fame. During this time
he encountered many foes, some he would have
known as neighbours, or men who had lately
been comrades-in-arms. He fought against
Afrikaners, Dutchmen,
Voortrekkers
and the
Boers. His black foes were also diverse; the
stealthy Xhosa of the eastern Cape; the battle-
axe wielding Basutos from their lofty kingdom
in the clouds; the Transvaal baPedi, masters of
fortification and most impressive of all, the
amaZulu warriors of King Cetshwayo.
In Zulu Frontiersman, Dennison recounts his
remarkable exploits in rich and lively prose.
Originally published in
1904
in abridged form
(under the title
Л
Fight to the Finish) his riveting
memoirs have been expertly reworked by Ron
Lock and Peter
Quantrill.
This new edition
reinstates many details missing from the earlier
published account including his life growing up
on the frontier; the early wars in southern Africa
and crucially, his experiences during the Anglo-
Zulu Wars. With vivid descriptions of the key
battles and skirmishes of the period, as well as
intricate details of everyday life, it provides a rare
and personal glimpse into this fascinating era of
military history |
