An account of the irregular operations by Louis Botha's forces in the field during which they launched attacks on the Itala and Fort Prospect frontier posts. During this time they diverted thousands of British troops from planned operations on the Highveld and restocked their ammunition and supplies by capturing a 31-wagon convoy and then retreating away from the closing British cordon. The results showed that the burghers in the field were still militarily significant at that time.

 It was one of the greatest human experiments ever undertaken: to populate an unknown land with the criminal, the unloved, and the unwanted of English society.  Amid conditions of brutality that paralleled those of slavery, The First Fleet was sent to a place no European but the legendary Captain Cook had ever seen. Left to live or die on the hostile Australian continent, these convicts - and their equally isolated guards - occupy the centre of Colleen McCullough's compelling epic.  Richard Morgan - convicted felon and educated, intelligent, resourceful man - finds the will to survive, experience the joys of love, and finally make an indelible mark upon the new frontier.  A thoroughly researched historical saga rich in romance, adventure and unforgettable characters, Morgan's Run has the makings of a modern classic. Hard cover, good condition.  The dust jacket shows minor signs of wear at the spine.  604 pages.
