It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 4 - 8 working days Situated between the Hottentots Holland Mountains and the Breede River, the Overberg is an important agricultural region and a popular holiday destination for tourists and nature lovers who delight in the beauty of its mountainous landscape, abundant plant species and long sandy beaches. But this area also has a rich history going back thousands of years, when the indigenous Khoi people originally thrived there, before the first European settlers arrived to leave their own indelible imprint on the culture, architecture and character of the region. This book provides a detailed account of this past by pointing out the many places, buildings, events and personalities that have made the Overberg the diverse and unique place that it is today. The Overberg has been a home or point of interest for explorers, innovators, artists and writers, for figures as varied as Bartholomew Diaz, Olof Bergh, Hendrik Verwoerd, Gregoire Boonzaier, Audrey Blignault and Breyten Breytenbach. Some of South Africa's oldest towns, houses and missionary stations can be found here, and its treacherous coastline has been the cause of hundreds of shipwrecks for centuries. Enlivened by historical and current photographs and informative side panels, this book is a collector's item.

Near fine condition."In the heyday of the old Cape Dutch civilization they spoke of the coastland east of the Hottentot Holland mountains as the Overberg. This'new Canaan', as Lady Anne Barnard called it, is described by Dr Burrows as'one of the richest repositories of our national heritage'. The success of the first printing of this book many years ago proves his claim. The history of the Swellendam Drostdy, the short-lived Swellendam republic, the birth and development of sheep farming, glimpses of the lovely old homesteads, and the families who owned them, Van Bredas, Van Reenens, Reitzes, Moodies; the story of the fabulous Barry empire, the lost seaports; all these are revealed in a book that is not only for the collector and historian but for all who enjoy a good story and glimpses of an intriguing, romantic past."
