How many people realize what a thrilling era was that of the Stage Coach in Southern Africa. It is doubtful if anywhere in the world one could find quite its equal. The author, a descendant of a famous family of stage coach owners, has spent years in acquiring a wealth of factual material and has many a tale to tell of adventure and highway robbery on the rough roads in the pioneer days. The Zeederbergs were commissioned by Rhodes to blaze the transport in Mashonaland and the author comments freely and often acidly on the family association with the Collossus- as history likes to call him. The illustrations are quite unique, in the years of research that went into this book Harry Zeederberg has acquired pictures that have never before been reproduced. So here is a really stirring book, completely authentic, that will fill a section of our history that has never before been told, many famous people come to life again and it should appeal to all who enjoy reading about adventure in a day that has gone.
