Inscription on title page reads: "4 March 1987 / Ambassador + Mrs. Edward Perkins / May this book on John Dunn and his descendants shed further light on not only one of South Africa's most unique communities - The Dunns of Zululand - but on the beauty, tragedy and fascination that is South Africa - Warmest Wishes / Charles Ballard." Signed on frontispiece by "D A Dunn / Chairman / Dunn Descendants Association." The letter welcomes Ed and his wife to South Africa and invites them to visit the Dunn family. John Dunn (1834-1895) was a South African settler who represented both colonial and Zulu interests, eventually earning some influence over Zulu people before the Zulu War which forced him to side with the British. After the war, Dunn was granted land ownership between the colony and Zululand, where he raised his 117 children he had with his wife and 48 Zulu women. Daniel Dunn, a descendant of John Dunn, was elected Chairman of the Dunn Descendants Association in 1974. The family has land disputes with Zulus, who claim their historic land was taken from them under apartheid, while the Dunns claim to legally own the land. Dr. Edward J. Perkins (1928-2020) served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, as well as Liberia, South Africa, and Australia throughout his 25-year foreign service career. In 1986 President Ronald Reagan appointed Perkins to serve as ambassador to South Africa in hopes of fending off a congressional override to his veto of economic sanctions against the country. It was a controversial decision amidst apartheid in South Africa, and many Black leaders urged Perkins to not take the role. Perkins accepted the position and served until 1989, one year before Nelson Mandela was released from prison. He was appointed U.N. Ambassador by George H.W. Bush in 1992, serving for one year. First edition of John Dunn: The White Chief of Zululand, inscribed to U.S. Ambassador Ed Perkins, with a laid-in letter from Dan Dunn, Chairman of the Dunn Descendants Association. (illustrator).

An excellent set of this rare work. RARE FIRST EDITION. An important and rare work in which the author covers the War and subsequent events including Cetshwayo 's visit to England and his return to a broken Zululand. Colenso was a great admirer of Cetshwayo. Mendelssohn's South African Bibliography Vol.1 page 356 357: states that the Zulu war may be divided into three periods, the first of which is that treated of in " The History of the Zulu War," while this work covers the second and third periods. The author argues that, " had the restoration of Cetywayo been carried out in the kind and honest spirit in which it was conceived, long ere this the misery of Zululand would have been over." It is alleged that a certain portion of the inhabitants of Natal, assisted by the Government officials, had provoked the constant succession of wars and disputes between the British, the Boers, and the natives. Sir Bartle Frere, Mr. Shepstone, and others, are accused of having worked up an agitation which transformed a peaceful situation with the Zulus into a position which ostensibly demanded an army of defence as an urgent necessity ; and this latter being at last conceded by the home Government, no time was lost in changing the attitude of defence into one of offence, which resulted in " one of the most needless and disastrous campaigns which ever disgraced our arms." In the second volume there is an interesting account of the visit of Cetywayo to England, and of his interviews with members of the Royal family and Lord Kimberley. The King spoke earnestly to the Colonial Minister on the subject of John Dunn's treachery and ingratitude, and asked that he should not be allowed to settle in the country ; he, however, agreed to the terms set forth, under which he was allowed to return to his kingdom. The work gives a clear account of the unhappy state of Zululand after the King's return until his death " again a prisoner " under the protection of the British Resident. The author, like her father and sister, was a strong champion of Cetywayo, and was greatly grieved and indignant at the intrigues which are stated to have led to the ruin and death of the Zulu king, who, she asserts, " stands out amidst all the chaos of South African blunders and wrongdoings . as grand a figure as any in modern history. His faith in our England wrought his downfall and his death.".…
