Anthony Trollope, 1878
Summary
The famous Victorian novelist visited South Africa in 1877, shortly before the discovery of gold. Trollope toured the Cape, Natal, and the Transvaal, reporting on colonial society, relations between settlers and African peoples, and the controversial annexation of the Transvaal — a sharp-eyed witness on the eve of the mineral revolution.
