Three Years War (October 1899 - June 1902)
1902
First Edition
By Christiaan Rudolf De Wet, Boer general, rebel leader and politician.
Ex Libris and signed by anthropologist Robert Broom.
Broom hunted for fossils along a substantial part of the terrain which De Wet operated in.
It is speculated that Broom took this book with him and read it in the field. The damage to the book is thus part of it’s provenance.
James Findlay bought this book from the estate of Broom’s grandson in Emmerentia, Johannesburg in 2017.
