Synopsis
Rhodesia’s history from ancient ruins to colonial rise .
This book surveys Rhodesia’s early chapters, the rise of the British South Africa Company, and the building of Mashonaland and Matabeleland amid war, diplomacy, and nation‑shaping decisions. Drawn from official sources, it presents a broad, chronological account of the region's transformation through exploration, conquest, and settlement.
Across chapters and campaigns, the work traces the spread of European influence, the rise and fall of Lobengula, and the key events that led to a colonial framework. It also covers the Jameson Raid, railway and telegraph ambitions, and the complex politics that shaped Rhodesia’s early borders and governance.What you’ll read about:
- The region’s earliest history, ruins, and possible ancient connections
- The concession era, pioneer movements, and the flattening of opposition through war
- Jameson’s Raid and its political fallout in the realm of empire
- The growth of Salisbury and the push toward cross‑continental communication and transport
