Die Groot Trek was 'n unieke verskynsel: 'n massa-uittog van ongeveer 10 000 Boere - mans, vroue en kinders - uit die Kaapkolonie in die jare n� 1836. Die emigrante, wat later Voortrekkers genoem sou word, het die kolonie weens verskeie hartgrondige redes wat in hierdie boek uiteengesit word, verlaat. Die betekenisvolste feit van hulle vertrek bly steeds hul verset teen hul inperking deur Britse gesag. Soos tydgenootlike getuies verwag het, was die Voortrekkers se weg na die binneland van Suider Afrika moeisaam en dikwels met bloed bevlek. Oorkant die Vaal het hulle met Mzilikazi se vurige Ndebele gebots, en in Natal hulself die gramskap van die Zulukoning, Dingane, op die hals gehaal. Retief is gedood, en die Voortrekkers is in hul laers verdelg. Hoewel hulle herstel het, en uiteindelik die mag van beide Ndebele en Zulu geknak het, is die Voortrekkers se stryd eers be�indig toe hulle republieke (die Oranje-Vrystaat en die ZAR) in die vyftiger jare van die 19de eeu deur Brittanje erken is. Die verhaal van die Voortrekkers word met talle foto's en skilderye van hierdie merkwaardige mans en vroue opgeluister, asook van die beweeglike lewenstyl wat hulle uittog moontlik gemaak het. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Een volume in die Erfenisreeks: die 19de eeu In Afrikaans geskrewe 70 bladsye insluitend fotos en indeks Wonderlike boek vir kinders ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
