Description
‘Paul Kruger en de Opkomst der Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek’ by J. F. van Oordt is a detailed historical account of Paul Kruger’s life and the emergence of the South African Republic during the nineteenth century. Written before the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Boer War, the book traces the history of the Voortrekkers, their migration into the interior, the establishment of the Transvaal and the political struggles through which the Boer republic developed. It examines the conflicts and negotiations that shaped the republic’s relationship with Britain, including the loss and restoration of Transvaal independence, as well as the leadership of Kruger and other prominent figures. The narrative continues through the early years of Kruger’s presidency, border conflicts, diplomatic missions to Britain and the political developments that followed the discovery of gold. Published in 1898, the work provides a contemporary perspective on Afrikaner political identity and the history of the Transvaal before the Anglo-Boer War. Written in Dutch, it was published in Amsterdam and Cape Town by the Hollandsch-Afrikaansche Uitgevers-Maatschappij and contains approximately 904 pages, including historical appendices. - Nederlands
