1. Pawns in a larger game: Life on the Eastern Cape Frontier
Description
In the nineteenth century the Eastern Frontier of the Cape Colony was the stage on which a hundred years of conflict between Briton, Boer, and Xhosa was played out, fed by competition for land and mutual cultural incomprehension. The consequences of that conflict are still playing out in modern South Africa. Britain's motive in establishing the British settlement of 1820 was to set up a buffer on the border between the Xhosa on the east of the Great Fish River, and the Colony on the west. The motive of those who braved the journey was to find a better life than that offered by Britain after the Napoleonic wars. This is the story of some of them, including: Robert Hart The first British settler. Soldier. Pioneering farmer. Patriarch. Edward Driver Smuggler. Daring elephant hunter. Trader. Guide to General Sir Harry Smith. Always close to trouble but emerging unscathed. The Thackwrays Pioneers, traders and explorers. Father and two sons each died violently, trying to make better lives for their families. Joseph Walker One of a group of merchants and entrepreneurs who made their fortunes on the frontier. John Forbes Cumming Missionary. A man combining deep religious conviction with romantic dreams and great courage. They became joined by family ties. Their stories include tales of murder, gunfights, war, massacre, and unrequited love, and are interwoven with the historical narrative. The material is extensively researched using a wide range of primary sources. The protagonists influenced and were influenced by those they encountered. This also the story of all those people Xhosa kings and commoners, Boer farmers and adventurers, South Africans to-be with different languages and cultures. The book epitomizes Carlyle's observation: "History is the essence of innumerable biographies". It is a gripping account of the history of the Eastern Cape Frontier as experienced by some who lived there.2. I Call Him "Mr. President": Stories of Golf, Fishing, and Life with My Friend George H.

Description
Even before the rest of North Carolina joined her sister states in secession, the people of the Lower Cape Fear were filled with enthusiasm for the Southern Cause - so much so that they actually seized Forts Johnston and Caswell, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River, weeks before the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter. When the state finally did secede, Wilmington became the most important port city of the Confederacy, keeping Robert E. Lee supplied with the munitions and supplies he needed to fight the war against the North. Dedicated soldiers like William Lamb and W.H.C. Whiting turned the sandy beaches of southern New Hanover and Brunswick Counties into a series of fortresses that kept the Union navy at bay for four years. The mighty Fort Fisher and a series of smaller forts offerd safe haven for daring blockade runners that brought in the Confederacy's much-needed supplies. In the process, they turned the quiet port of Wilmington into a boomtown. In this book that was fifteen years in the making, James L. Walker, Jr. has chronicled the story of the Lower Cape Fear and the forts and men that guarded it during America's bloodiest conflict, from the early days of the war to the fall of Wilmington in February 1865.6.
