The Annals of Natal, 1495 to 1845
John Bird, 1888
Summary
A documentary compilation covering Natal's recorded history from the earliest Portuguese voyages through the founding of the British colony. Bird preserves many otherwise inaccessible documents — ship logs, traders' journals, Voortrekker correspondence, and official despatches — making this an invaluable reference for the history of Natal and the Zulu Kingdom in the 1830s and 1840s.
